Beth Schiller Executive Director: VermontBiz Magazine Feature

Our Executive Director, Beth Schiller, is featured on the cover of VermontBiz magazine this month. Congratulations to Beth and to Champlain Medical for continued leadership in delivering practical, high-quality health care solutions to Vermont employers and communities.

“When we see a bottleneck, we build a solution,” Schiller explained. “Years ago, when local drivers faced six-month waits for sleep apnea testing, we introduced home sleep-study devices—cutting wait times to days and costs by more than half. That same roll-up-your-sleeves pragmatism guides everything we do.”

Direct Primary Care That Works for Vermont Business

At Champlain Medical, we approach health care the same way we approach flying — with precision, planning, and a commitment to doing what’s right. Direct Primary Care (DPC) allows us to deliver accessible, human, and cost-effective primary care to Vermont employers through a simple, predictable subscription model.

As an independent practice, we prioritize relationships and responsiveness. DPC provides employees year-round access to our clinic, including office visits, in-house labs, and standard annual testing — all without per-visit billing. The model is especially effective for uninsured or high-deductible employees when employers cover the subscription, eliminating out-of-pocket costs and reducing barriers to care. We also guide employers toward cost-effective imaging and pharmaceutical options to help manage overall health spending.

Engineers Construction: An Employer Partnership in Action

Engineers Construction, a leading Vermont-based construction firm, is a valued employer partner that relies on Champlain Medical for responsive, workforce-focused health services. In a physically demanding industry where downtime and delayed care can have real operational impacts, timely access to medical support is essential.

Our teams work closely with Engineers Construction to provide employer health services that support safety, recovery, and productivity — including prompt injury evaluation, urgent care, direct primary care and occupational health coordination. This collaborative approach helps reduce absenteeism, improves response times, and supports a healthier, more resilient workforce.

As health care costs rise and access to primary care becomes increasingly limited statewide, employers are turning to solutions that actually work. Champlain Medical is built on identifying and solving bottlenecks — whether that means bringing flu and COVID vaccinations directly to worksites or introducing home sleep-study devices to reduce wait times and costs. We design employer programs that support compliance, reduce lost work time, and keep employees healthy throughout the year.

Local Care, Better Results

We know Vermont because we’re part of Vermont. Employers know us by name, trust our judgment, and rely on our ability to deliver care quickly and thoughtfully. With our work now focused on direct employer services, we are well positioned to expand access to care for workforces that struggle to secure timely providers.

Our mission remains clear: deliver accessible care, measurable savings, and higher-quality outcomes — while supporting the Vermont businesses that keep our communities strong.
