SVMC cardiac rehabilitation group raise funds for victim of fire

Nancy Livingston, former occupant of the Grant Street apartment building destroyed by fire earlier this month, is a participant in the Phase III Cardiac Rehabilitation Maintenance Program at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center. Seated in pink at the center, Livingston is surrounded by members of the cardiac rehab group, who joined together to raise several hundred dollars to replace Livingston’s belongings.
