Anne served as counsel to hospitals, nursing homes, community mental health agencies, physician groups, and other private health care interests in Vermont and New Hampshire.  In addition to providing long-term counsel to the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, Anne also served as counsel to the Vermont Health Care Association and the Council for Developmental and Mental Health Services.

The breadth of her experience, coupled with her practical approach to problem-solving, makes Anne a uniquely effective advisor to a broad spectrum of healthcare providers.
