“Sometimes there are real medical needs, but more than anything you keep hearing about people who were isolated in rural Vermont — boy, are they isolated,” nurse Sunny Martinson said.
Many community nurse programs were modeled off parish nurses working in Lyme, New London and Hanover, New Hampshire in the early 2000s. Now, more than a dozen towns in New Hampshire and Vermont have a community nurse.
Inside, the house is full of light. The walls are decorated with photographs Starr made, the ceiling has exposed wood rafters, and a spiral staircase leads upstairs.These days, Starr sleeps on the first floor. His wife died a few years ago and it's hard for him to get upstairs, where his computer is, or to the basement, where his workshop is.
“Last fall his refrigerator broke, so I helped him get a new refrigerator. Or this driveway is impossible, and he didn't even have anyone to plow it until January, he had no snow tires for the car,” she said. “So I mean I’m doing more than just filling the pill box.” “Right now the health care system is reactive. Something has to happen, and then you call 911, and then you go,” said Kristin Barnum, who runs a nonprofit called Community Nurse Connection. “But these community nurses are health coaches, health advocates, to prevent bad things from happening.”These all look a little different: In Thetford, Martinson works for a nonprofit, and the position is largely grant funded.
