Bob Gasser, an 83-year-old retired attorney, wants to start traveling again. He’d also like to get back to seeing friends during workouts at the gym. Tango lessons are on his bucket list.
But like nearly everyone else no matter their age Gasser won’t feel safe about picking up where life pretty much stopped 10 months ago due to the coronavirus pandemic until he gets the COVID-19 vaccine.

Judge sides with DHMC in fired doctor’s lawsuit

LEBANON A federal judge has granted summary judgment for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in a suit brought against the hospital by a fertility doctor who alleged it wrongfully terminated her when the Reproductive Endocrinology Program there closed in 2017.
Vermont District Court Chief Judge Geoffrey Crawford’s Nov. 3 decision acknowledged that the REI program was “dysfunctional” due to conflict between the providers there before it was dissolved.
But Crawford said that’s not sufficient to support Dr. Misty Blanchette Porter’s claims that her firing was in retaliation for her being a whistleblower or because she had a neurological condition that required her to work limited hours and with accommodations.

After a rocky spring when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit and revenue plummeted, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health saw its operating margin climb back into the black for the quarter ending Sept. 30 thanks to federal stimulus payments.
Daniel Jantzen, the Lebanon-based health system’s CFO, described its $13.9 million, or 2.2% margin for the first three months of its 2021 fiscal year as a “dramatic recovery” from losses that occurred earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, in a filing with bondholders late last month.
