The average salary for a healthcare administration position in Vermont is $105,100 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov).  The top paying metro area is Burlington-South Burlington, where the average salary is $119,780. Outside of this metropolis, the state can be divided into southern and northern sections, with the average salary in southern half reaching $88,650 and $89,070 in the northern half. Vermont is one of the smallest of the United States both in population and in area. The population is less than 700,000 residents, so even the larger cities in the state are small in comparison to other cities in the region.

Fletcher Allen Health Care is Vermont’s largest medical center. Located in Burlington, the medical care system is made up of more than 30 patient care sites and 100 outreach clinics, programs and services in the region. It employs more than 6,000 workers and is the largest private employer in the state. Vermont has an increasingly ageing population, so health centers and long-term care facilities will continue to be in high demand over the next decade and beyond. All in all, Vermont ranks as one of the healthiest places to live in the U.S., so healthcare administrators should have excellent opportunities for employment with good salaries.
