Welcome to the Gifford Medical Center team and thanks for coming into our community with your expertise.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jonathan Greene to Gifford!

We’re excited to welcome board-certified cardiologist Jonathan B. Greene, MD, FACC, RPVI, to our cardiovascular medicine team!

With 10 years of experience at Emerson Health in Massachusetts, Dr. Greene brings a wealth of expertise and a prevention-focused approach to caring for patients. He believes in helping people understand their heart health, explore their options and make informed decisions about their care.

His commitment to community-based medicine is one of the reasons he chose Gifford, where he can help bring expert heart care closer to home for Vermonters.

Since moving to Vermont with his family, they have been enjoying the outdoors and exploring local mountains. We’re happy to have them as part of our community!

Welcome to Gifford, Dr. Greene!

Learn more about Dr. Greene, his approach to care and his journey to Gifford at the link in our comments below.

👏 We love seeing our Chamber members making a difference!

A big shoutout to Orange County Parent Child Center , Lil' Sunshine Child Care Center , and new this year Little Red Wagon Childcare center!

As a Chamber, we know how important reliable childcare is, not just for families, but for our local businesses and workforce too.

We're proud to have all three as members and appreciate the work they do every day to support our communities! 💚

And they're all hiring! Please help spread the word. You might just help connect someone with a great opportunity!

When families, employers, and community leaders called for more child care options, Randolph’s early childhood education sector totally stepped up. Over the past four years, three new and expanding child care providers have helped increase access for working families across Randolph and the surrounding region, creating nearly 100 child care spots while continuing to grow and invest in the next generation.

Today, Orange County Parent Child Center (40 spots), Lil’ Sunshine Child Care Center (18 spots), and Little Red Wagon Childcare Center (38 spots) are all helping meet a critical workforce and economic development need.

Together, they provide high-quality early childhood education and care, but are also currently seeking additional early educators to support continued growth and serve even more local families.

Families looking for child care and individuals interested in a rewarding career in early education can learn more by searching “Child Care” in the Randolph Vibe Directory (https://randolphvibe.com/business-directory).

🍁 A well-deserved honor for Silloway Maple!
Please join us in congratulating the Silloway family on receiving the Sumner Williams Memorial Award from the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers' Association!

Congratulations to all! 👏🍁

Here's my brother, David Silloway and I, proud to be chosen for the Sumner Williams Memorial Award, presnted by the Vermont Maple Sugarmaker's Association. at the Vermont Winter Conference. The award is intended to "...recognize individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the industry’s growth, quality, education, and community." David has sugared since a youngster, and been active in not only producing consistently award winning maple syrup, but always generous with his time and resources in furthering the maple industry, I have had the awesome opportunity to welcome thousands of visitors from all corners of the world through the family sugarhouse, sharing the story of maple production and giving a true taste of pure Vermont maple. We both have gathered thousands of gallons of sap, and spent many long days in the sugarhouse. Receiving this award is a great honor.
The sugaring baton has passed from hand to hand within the Silloway Lambert families, with more support than I can tell you.
