Northern Counties Health Care, Inc. (NCHC), an award-winning northeastern Vermont community healthcare network comprised of five primary care centers, three dental centers, and a home health care and hospice division, is pleased to welcome Patrick Anderson, PA-C to the St. Johnsbury Community Health Center. He will be accepting new patients.
Originally from Northern New York, Patrick has spent his entire career in the Northeast. Along the way he has taken the winding path from chemical engineering to medicine. His first career was in the paper industry where he worked both in Northern New York and rural Maine. A Wilderness First Responder course sparked an enduring interest in medicine. He received his Masters of Medical Science (MMSc) degree from Yale Medical School and has over 15 years of experience as a Physician Assistant.
He most recently practiced at North Country Primary Care in Newport, Vermont. Prior to that he worked in a combined Pediatric/Internal Medicine practice in Northern New York caring for people of all ages. For the past two years he has resided in St. Johnsbury along with his wife Marybeth and daughter. When not working, they can be found running, mountain biking, or ripping down Warren's Way at Burke Mountain.
“We are excited to welcome Patrick to the St. Johnsbury Community Health Center team,” said Christopher Towne, NCHC’s Director of FQHC Operations. “Patrick’s extensive experience as Primary Care Physician Assistant supports Northern Counties Health Care’s mission of providing access to high quality, patient-centered care in the Northeast Kingdom.”
The Northern Counties Health Care network includes Caledonia Home Health Care & Hospice, Concord Health Center, Danville Health Center, Hardwick Area Health Center, Island Pond Health and Dental Center, Northern Counties Dental Center (Hardwick), Orleans Dental Center, and St. Johnsbury Community Health Center.
