PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3: COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HAS UTILIZED AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROCESS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IS UPDATED ANNUALLY, AND THE UPDATE IN 2012 DIRECTED OUR EFFORTS IN 2013. FAIRVIEW'S CHNA UTILIZED ALL AVAILABLE CLINICAL, HEALTH STATUS, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA AVAILABLE TO FORM THE FOUNDATION OF OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. IN ADDITION WE GATHERED AVAILABLE QUALITATIVE DATA FROM OUR MANY ADVISORY GROUPS, COMMUNITY FORUMS, SURVEYS, AND FOCUS GROUPS. THE WELLNESS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS ALSO SUPPLEMENT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR COMMUNITY, HEALTH RISK FACTORS, AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE. IN NOVEMBER 2011, IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR PUBLIC HEALTH COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS BERKSHIRE COUNTY, FAIRVIEW PARTICIPATED IN A COMMUNITY WIDE MEETING SPONSORED BY BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER TO REVIEW THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SOLICIT ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM OVER 70 COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THE FEEDBACK GATHERED INPUT ON SPECIFIC ACTIONS THAT COULD BE TAKEN AT INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING GAPS IN SERVICE IN ADDITION TO PRIORITIZING THE MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. WE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS COMMUNITY GROUP AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO REVIEW DATA, CONFIRM PRIORITIES, DISCUSS NEEDS, AND WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED PRIORIES AND NEEDS. IN 2012 WE FORMALIZED THE COUNTY HEALTH INITIATIVE (CHI) WITH THE GOAL OF WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE LEADERSHIP TEAM OF THE CHI INCLUDED BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, NORTH ADAMS REGIONAL HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE COUNTY BOARDS OF HEALTH, THE BERKSHIRE ALLIANCE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, TRI-TOWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT, PITTSFIELD BOARD OF HEALTH, BERKSHIRE UNITED WAY, AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY COALITION. THE NEEDS DATA, ALONG WITH STATE PRIORITIES, ARE USED TO DETERMINE OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT PRIORITIES, WHICH ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ACCESS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN ITS PLANNING, FVH LOOKS FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF EXISTING RESOURCES AND PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS TO IDENTIFY GAPS IN SERVICE. FVH WORKS WITH INTERNAL RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PARTNERS, WITH THE HELP OF EVIDENCED BASED OR BEST PRACTICE PROGRAMS, TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES TO MEET COMMUNITY NEED.	FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 4: CHNA CONDUCTED WITH OTHER HOSPITAL FACILITIES - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS AN AFFILIATE HOSPITAL OF BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER AND BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS, THE REGIONAL PROVIDER OF HEALTHCARE IN THE BERKSHIRES. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND CONSIDERS IT THE PRIMARY RESOURCE FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK FOR OVERALL HEALTH NEEDS AND STATUS OF OUR REGION. THE HEALTHCARE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS REPORT ARE THE GUIDING FRAMEWORK THAT FAIRVIEW USES TO EFFECTIVELY COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PROVIDERS TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY NEEDS AND DEVELOP PLANS TO MEET THEM. IN ADDITION TO THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS CHNA, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL CONDUCTS AN ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE TWELVE TOWNS IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES THAT IT SERVES. THE GOAL OF THIS TARGETED SURVEY IS TO GAIN ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK OF THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY AS TO THE CHALLENGES, OBSTACLES AND PRIORITY NEEDS THEY FEEL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.	FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: WERE ALL NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN CHNA ADDRESSED? - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL FOLLOWS THE PRIORITIES OF THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL, SERVES A RURAL COMMUNITY IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF MASSACHUSETTS. FAIRVIEW HAS PUT IN PLACE MANY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, EQUITY OF ACCESS, CHRONIC DISEASE AND WELLNESS IN ADDITION TO ITS ROLE AS SERVING AS THE PRIMARY ACUTE CARE FACILITY FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. FAIRVIEW HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN RESPONDING TO NEEDS INCLUDING NEW HEALTH SERVICES, SUPPORT GROUPS, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, INCLUDING MANY IN COLLABORATION WITH BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE RECENT ESTABLISHMENT OF OPERATION BETTER START, A PROGRAM THAT TARGETS YOUTH OBESITY, AND DIABETES EDUCATION ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW REGIONAL RESOURCES CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE AS A SATELLITE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY. IN CASES THAT REQUIRE MORE SPECIALTY, OR IT CANNOT FINANCIALLY SUPPORT, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FILL THE NEED LOCALLY AND RELIES ON A REGIONAL NETWORK OF HEALTH RESOURCES OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS.	FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20D: THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS 95% OF THE FACILITY'S STANDARD CHARGES.	FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL
PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENT - FAIRVIEW ASSESSES THE NEEDS AND CHANGES IN OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH A BROAD RANGE OF ASSESSMENT INITIATIVES AND CONSTANT INTERACTION AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. STATISTICAL EVIDENCE FROM HOSPITAL DATABASES, INCLUDING IN-PATIENT, EMERGENCY AND MAJOR DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORIES, AUGMENT FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ASSESSMENTS WHICH HELP IDENTIFY AREAS CONSISTENT WITH, AND THOSE ABOVE, STANDARD NORMS. FAIRVIEW RELIES ON THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND HEALTH REGIONALIZATION STATUS REPORTS TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION.FAIRVIEW ALSO PARTICIPATES WITH THE WORK OF REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND UTILIZES ASSESSMENTS MADE AVAILABLE ON BEHALF OF SPECIFIC COMMUNITY INTERESTS. AMONG THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE RELEVANT DATA ARE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT SURVEY, SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE YOUTH COALITION YOUTH SURVEY, UNITED WAY COMMUNITY IMPACT BASELINE REPORT, MASSACHUSETTS PREVENTION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY, CROSS-CULTURAL ACTION NETWORK, MASSACHUSETTS COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, BERKSHIRE HILLS REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BMI REPORTS, AND THE BERKSHIRE BOARDS OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT. FAIRVIEW ALSO CONDUCTS ITS OWN SURVEY, SPECIFICALLY TARGETING THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE REGION, TO UNDERSTAND RESIDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHCARE SERVICE ACCESS, OBSTACLES TO CARE, PREFERRED METHODS OF COMMUNICATIONS, PERCEIVED HEALTH THREATS AND SIGNIFICANT ISSUES THAT AFFECT THEIR HEALTH STATUS.FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL PLACES A HIGH PRIORITY ON BUILDING CLOSE ALLIANCES WITH EDUCATIONAL, BUSINESS, HEALTH AND WELFARE, SAFETY, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND SOCIAL SERVICES IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES. THROUGH CONTINUAL ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERING, FAIRVIEW STAYS ABREAST OF THE BROAD RANGE OF ISSUES AFFECTING OUR COMMUNITY ALLOWING IT TO RESPOND TO ISSUES. THROUGH A CONSTITUENCY FOCUSED OUTREACH AND EDUCATION PROGRAM, WHICH IS BASED ON HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND TARGETS SPECIFIC HEALTH INFORMATION TO MEET THE NEEDS OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS, FAIRVIEW STRIVES TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF AND ACCESS TO PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, EDUCATION, SUPPORT AND INFORMATION, AND TO RAISE THE OVERALL HEALTH LITERACY AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL COMMITTEES, INCLUDING THE PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL, ETHICS COUNCIL AND SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEES ALLOW FAIRVIEW TO MAINTAIN A DIRECT LINE TO OUR COMMUNITY, IN OUR EFFORT TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY EFFECTIVELY.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS EXTREMELY PROACTIVE IN HELPING PATIENTS ACCESS COVERAGE. THROUGH CONTINUOUS OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND MEDIA COVERAGE, FAIRVIEW'S ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS TEAM PROMOTES INFORMATION ABOUT ELIGIBILITY TO INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED TO THESE PROGRAMS BOTH FROM WITHIN THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS ON A COMMUNITY LEVEL. THE ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS OFFICE, LOCATED IN THE FRONT LOBBY OF THE HOSPITAL, MAINTAINS FLEXIBLE HOURS TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE SEEKING COVERAGE. THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL, THE ADVOCACY TEAM HAS TRAINED STAFF TO INITIATE CONTACT TO FACILITATE ENROLLMENT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS PATIENTS MAY HAVE. IN ADDITION, A FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS AVAILABLE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN CREATING FLEXIBLE BILLING ARRANGEMENTS AS WELL AS ADDRESSING BILLING ISSUES AND QUESTIONS.THE SERVICE ECONOMY IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES HAS MANY UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED WORKERS. MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HOLD MORE THAN ONE JOB. THE ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS TEAM HAS PLACED SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON REACHING OUT TO THE SELF-EMPLOYED AS WELL AS IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE THEM WITH INFORMATION AND ENROLL THEM IN HEALTH COVERAGE DURING THE PAST YEAR.
PART VI, LINE 4: COMMUNITY INFORMATION - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SERVES A RURAL AREA IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF MASSACHUSETTS IN ADDITION TO NEARBY COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE BORDERS OF NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT. THERE IS A WIDE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RANGE IN THE COMMUNITY, NECESSITATING A DIVERSE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN, INCLUDING BOTH TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA. HOWEVER, FAIRVIEW RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT THAT WORD-OF-MOUTH CONTINUES TO HOLD AND ENGAGES WITH A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO REPRESENT VARIOUS CONSTITUENCIES TO TAP INTO THESE NETWORKS DIRECTLY AND THROUGH COMMUNITY AFFILIATIONS SUCH AS THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE REGIONAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE, AN ALLIANCE OF THE TOWNS, EMERGENCY SERVICES, BOARDS OF HEALTH, SELECTMEN OF INDIVIDUAL TOWNS, AND THE HOSPITAL. WHILE THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY IS PREDOMINATELY CAUCASIAN, THERE IS A GROWING MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HAS EXPANDED ITS NETWORK OF CONTACTS AND RESOURCES TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY. WHEN ANY HEALTH ISSUE IS ADDRESSED OR PROGRAM PROMOTED, THERE ARE MANY POINTS OF CONTACT REPRESENTING THIS COMMUNITY TO INITIATE A SIMILAR DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF SPECIFIC GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT SECTOR OF SECOND-HOMEOWNERS, WHICH PROVIDES AN ECONOMIC BOOST TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICE INDUSTRY, BUT RAISES THE PRICE OF HOUSING, PLACING IT OUT OF REACH OF MANY LOCAL FAMILIES. THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN POVERTY. IN FACT, TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF FAMILIES ARE LIVING BELOW 200% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL (MORE THAN 3% OVER THE STATE AVERAGE) AND THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME IS $3,297 LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. OVER 35% OF THE STUDENTS IN THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARE ON FREE OR REDUCED PRICE LUNCHES. RURAL HOMELESSNESS IS A HIDDEN, BUT PERVASIVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH BOTH THE LOCAL HOMELESS SHELTER AND VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE TO PROVIDE NEEDED MEDICAL CARE AND MEALS. THE PERCENTAGE OF ELDERS IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES IS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGE, SURPASSING 20% IN SOME RURAL COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, MANY ELDERS ARE LIVING ALONE. SENIOR CENTERS AND SERVICES ARE AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY RESOURCE AND FAIRVIEW REGULARLY OFFERS PROGRAMS THROUGH THESE ORGANIZATIONS.PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS LIMITED AND NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE. AS A RESULT, TRANSPORTATION IS AN OBSTACLE TO CARE FOR MANY, PARTICULARLY AMONG THE ELDERLY. A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AGENCY RUNS A LIMITED BUS ROUTE WITH LIMITED HOURS. ADDITIONAL ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE BUT LIMITED. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE MUST RELY ON FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO GET TO MEDICAL CARE. SPECIALTY CARE IS A PARTICULAR CHALLENGE TO OBTAIN. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH AREA ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP MAKE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE. HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION ARE THE PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT SECTORS. THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE ECONOMY'S PRIMARY ECONOMIC ENGINE IS TOURISM, WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF HOTELS, BED AND BREAKFASTS, RESTAURANTS, AND RETAIL SHOPS AND SERVICES CATERING TO THE TOURIST COMMUNITY. THE LOCAL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE OFTEN SEASONAL AND SERVICE BASED JOBS, THEY ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ECONOMY.
PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - FURTHERING OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSE AS PART OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT MISSION IS COMMITTED TO IDENTIFY, PRIORITIZE, AND MAKE INVESTMENTS THAT ADDRESS OUR COMMUNITIES' HEALTH NEEDS AND RAISE THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR NEIGHBORS. FAIRVIEW SERVES AS THE RURAL REGION'S PRIMARY HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION, AND ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF "AT RISK" AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AS PART OF OVERALL PUBLIC HEALTH. FAIRVIEW SEEKS INPUT AND FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES TO MEET IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS AND ACTS AS A CATALYST TO PROMOTE HEALTH INITIATIVES SUCH AS FLU CLINICS, EMERGENCY PLANNING, AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH MANDATES. FAIRVIEW PARTICIPATES IN THE BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER MONTHLY COMMUNITY BENEFITS MEETINGS AS WELL AS MAINTAINING A SEPARATE FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE WHICH MEETS TWICE A YEAR AND PROVIDES A PLATFORM THAT FOCUSES ON THE TWELVE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE TOWNS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, ENGAGING COMMUNITY PROFESSIONALS ON THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF OUR GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT. THE FHCBC INCLUDES THE PRESIDENT, TWO VICE PRESIDENTS, AND LEADERS OF THE HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS AND STAFF WHO ARE DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH PATIENTS, ALLOWING A GREATER FOCUS ON THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THIS GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO IDENTIFY EMERGING HEALTH ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY.FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL VALUES THE COMMUNITY'S VITAL ROLE AS STEWARDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, REPRESENTING VARIOUS DEMOGRAPHIC AND CONSTITUENCY GROUPS, SERVE ON OUR GOVERNING BOARDS AS WELL AS VARIOUS COMMITTEES WHICH ASSURE THE INPUT AND INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE REPRESENTED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS. HOSPITAL STAFF ALSO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN MANY LOCAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, SUPPORTING THEIR EFFORTS AND, BY ENGAGING WITH THEIR MISSION AND INTERESTS, CREATING NEW AVENUES OF COLLABORATION AND OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER MEET OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS.THE CURRENT GOVERNING BODY OF FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL CONSISTS OF 19 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, FOUR PHYSICIAN REPRESENTATIVES, AND AS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS ARE ELECTED FOR TERMS OF UP TO THREE YEARS, ARE SUBJECT TO TERM LIMITS, AND REPRESENT A WIDE SPECTRUM OF COMMUNITY INTERESTS - INCLUDING SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS, FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS, CONSUMER ADVOCATES, AND EDUCATIONAL LEADERS. MOST COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES INCLUDE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. FAIRVIEW ALSO MAINTAINS A PATIENT AND FAMILY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE INPUT AND ADVICE ON A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICE TOPICS.THE MEDICAL STAFF OF FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS OPEN TO ALL PHYSICIANS WHO MEET CLINICAL AND PATIENT SERVICE CRITERIA, ALTHOUGH CERTAIN HOSPITAL BASED SERVICES - RADIOLOGY, ANESTHESIA, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND PATHOLOGY - ARE FUNCTIONALLY CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH THOSE DEPARTMENTS ARE STRUCTURED.FAIRVIEW REGULARLY EXPENDS PERSONNEL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT PROMOTE IMPROVEMENTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR WHICH IT DOES NOT EXPECT REIMBURSEMENT. THE HOSPITAL UTILIZES SURPLUS FUNDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, TO MAINTAIN ACCESS TO HOSPITAL SERVICES AND PRIMARY CARE, TO EXPAND ACCESS POINTS OF CARE, AND TO SUPPORT SERVICES THAT SUPPORT COMMUNITY BENEFIT PRIORITIES INCLUDING CHRONIC DISEASE, EDUCATION, AND ACCESS TO CARE. FAIRVIEW'S EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND SUPPORT PROGRAMS INCLUDE TOBACCO TREATMENT, PARKINSON'S EXERCISE, AND CPR AND LIFE SAFETY TRAINING. IN ADDITION, FAIRVIEW PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR LOCAL INITIATIVES, INCLUDING YOUTH SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, TIED TO MESSAGING THAT ADDRESSES THE COMMUNITY'S CONCERN FOR ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AN ISSUE IDENTIFIED AS A COMMUNITY CONCERN IN A RECENT ASSESSMENT.FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA IS A DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY AND IT HAS PLACED A HIGH PRIORITY ON RECRUITING PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO THE AREA TO SUPPORT ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTH NEEDS. FURTHER EFFORT AND RESOURCES HAVE BEEN SPENT INCREASING ACCESS TO SPECIALTY SERVICES. MANY OF THESE PROVIDERS ARE NOW EMPLOYEES DIRECTLY AFFILIATED WITH FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, OR BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS. MOREOVER, BMC AND FAIRVIEW HAVE, IN APPROPRIATE WAYS, PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITY MEDICAL PRACTICES TO RECRUIT AND SUPPORT THE PRACTICE START-UP OF NEW PHYSICIANS IN NEEDED SPECIALTIES.FACING AN INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO ATTRACT SKILLED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN CAREER DEVELOPMENT AT MANY LEVELS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TO ALLOW STUDENTS LIVING IN OUR RURAL COMMUNITY ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FUTURE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE.AS STEWARD OF THE COMMUNITY'S PRIMARY HEALTH ORGANIZATION, AND A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL UTILIZES ANY SURPLUS FUNDS TO MEET THE HIGHEST PRIORITY NEEDS INCLUDING PATIENT CARE, SERVICE AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, MEDICAL EDUCATION OF ALL STAFF, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, AND EDUCATION AND RESEARCH.AS THE CENTER OF THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS AN ACTIVE LEADER IN THE PROMOTION OF BETTER HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. FAIRVIEW OFFERS:PRIMARY SERVICES TO ALL WHO SEEK CARE, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY;FREE OR LOW-COST EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, SUPPORT GROUPS, AND SCREENINGS TO PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY, WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS;ONGOING MEDIA COMMUNICATION FOR IMPORTANT HEALTH ACCESS INFORMATION INCLUDING FLU PREVENTION, VACCINATIONS, AND COMMONWEALTH CARE DEADLINES;HEALTHY MENUS, MORE SUSTAINABLE OR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY POLICIES, AND DISCONTINUATION OF SUGAR DRINKS IN THE HOSPITAL TO SERVE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY; ANDLEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES INCLUDING EMERGENCY PLANNING, BOARDS OF HEALTH, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-WIDE INITIATIVES.A SPECIFIC AREA OF FOCUS THAT REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT OF COLLABORATION IS YOUTH OBESITY. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HAS LAUNCHED OPERATION BETTER START, A SATELLITE PROGRAM OF BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, TO BRING AN AWARD WINNING PROGRAM TO THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES. THIS PROGRAM TARGETS OBESITY IN YOUTH WITH A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT ADDRESSES THE MANY ISSUES INVOLVED IN OBESITY AND TREATS NOT ONLY THE CHILD, BUT THE FAMILY, TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED HEALTH FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY UNIT. IN OTHER AREAS, FAIRVIEW HAS TAKEN A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO BETTER HEALTH THROUGH BETTER NUTRITION AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO NUTRITION COUNSELING, FAIRVIEW OFFERS A SIX-WEEK MINDFULNESS EATING PROGRAM, AND ITS FOOD SERVICES IS A LEADER IN THE NATION AS A HOSPITAL THAT SETS A HIGHER STANDARD IN HEALTHY EATING WITHIN THE HOSPITAL.
