VSEA Closely Monitoring Any & All Woodside Developments In Wake Of Commissioner’s Announcement On Federal Funding Loss

VSEA leaders, staff and, most important, frontline Woodside workers, have been attending meetings with AHS officials about the facility’s future, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions right now. Needless to say, all involved on VSEA’s behalf will be closely monitoring the debate and planning and then weighing in publicly on any and all developments.  

VSEA is stressing how important it is to not turn the rehabilitation and care of Vermont’s most troubled youth over to a private firm only interested in profits and how to increase shareholder earnings.

VSEA & Vermont Veterans Home Workers Mourning Loss Of Longtime Employee

VSEA is joining its members at the Vermont Veterans Home to mourn the death of 30-year VVH utility worker Scott Devenow (pictured here in FB photo shared by VVH co-workers) at age 47. 

Devenow was working in the VVH laundry area when a co-worker discovered him unresponsive last Thursday. Per their training, VVH staff began immediate life-saving measures before EMTs arrived on scene, but, sadly, Devenow passed away in the hospital five days later. 

VSEA representatives are working with VVH management to secure on-site help for any VVH worker needing to talk, or more. 

Deepest condolences to the entire VVH family and your residents.
