Kate Clemente, PA-C

Kate Clemente knew from an early age that she wanted to work in health care, inspired in part by her mother, who has worked as a PA since the 1970s. As a Vermont native, she finds making connections with patients the most rewarding aspect of her work, and is drawn to Gifford’s sense of community. “I am very tightly tied to my community—central Vermont is my home—and Gifford is small, intimate, warm and caring.” When not at work, she enjoys mountain biking, skiing, climbing, making stained glass, blacksmithing, woodworking, and spending time with her two dogs.
