 J.
Lorimer Holm, M.D.
2005 VMS Distinguished Service
Award
Dr. Lorimer Holm of Berlin was presented with the
Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor that the VMS can bestow on
one of its members.
Dr. Holm was a radiologist in Central Vermont for 27 years, retiring in
1993. During his practice, a number of new radiological technologies were
introduced which provided faster and better imaging. Dr. Holm played an
active role in bringing the first CT scanner to Central Vermont, helping to
convince hospital administrators and state regulators in the early 1970s
that the new technology would be beneficial to patients.
Dr. Holm received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1960,
and did both his residency and internship at the University of Vermont. In
1966, he moved to Montpelier and joined Associates in Radiology. He worked
at Heaton Hospital in Montpelier and the Barre City Hospital before the
Central Vermont Medical Center was created. He also practiced at Gifford
Memorial Hospital in Randolph and Copley Hospital in Morrisville.
In 1980, Dr. Holm joined Green Mountain Radiology, which provides
radiological services for patients throughout Central Vermont.
Dr. Holm has been active within the Vermont Medical Society, serving as the
chairman of the Investment Committee and as treasurer of the society. His
knowledge and leadership have contributed greatly to the Vermont Medical
Society's financial stability and ability to assist its member physicians. |
