The family of BARB AICHER
ROULEAU is honored to have
shared our lives with one of the
most amazing and accomplished
members of our community.
Barb entered the field of nursing
at the University of Vermont and
in 1990, obtained her B.S. in nursing and
health education. While working as a critical
care nurse in Boston, and Saratoga, she continued
her studies and obtained a master’s in
nursing education from Sage Graduate School.
She applied her clinical experience to IDX
Systems’ first online patient record. When
UVM created their first certificate program
for nurse practitioners, she jumped at the
opportunity and re-entered the clinical world.
After providing care to our community, she
was again asked to re-enter the world of
health care software; this time the focus was
on preventive health. Barb was one of the first
two to graduate and earn the title of Doctor of
Nursing Practice. Working closely with her
peers in the UVM College of Nursing, her
vision and purpose became more defined. She
then became an assistant professor and joined
a team of dedicated nurse practitioners that
would capture national interest and admiration
as they created the first university-owned
family practice with a mission to teach while
providing care. Constantly leading by example,
she taught advanced nursing classes while
managing a full patient load. She shaped the
school nursing position at Christ The King
School, served on the Green Mountain Health
Care Board, volunteered for her children’s
soccer programs and Rice Stunt Night. The
greatest source of pride for Barb has always
been her family; husband Ray and children
Christian, Evan and Ali.
