Wendy S. Davis, MD FAAP

"I met Dr. Elizabeth Hunt during her residency training in the UVM Department of Pediatrics/Children’s Hospital and have worked alongside her as a pediatric colleague since her return to Vermont in 2011. She is a dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate physician who effectively applies the skills honed in the pediatric arena to crafting sound public policy to support all of Vermont’s children, youth, and families. I have admired her approach to tackling issues such as improving our systems of primary, preventive, mental and behavioral health care delivery; assuring that our early childhood settings and schools are designed to optimize child health and development; and strengthening access to basic needs that shape health outcomes for all Vermonters. Her expertise and experience will be a welcome addition as the Vermont Legislature continues to address these critical issues!"
