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.
VSEA is pleased to be partnering with the Vermont National Education Association (VtNEA) and the State Treasurer’s Office to co-sponosor a "public pensions symposium".
