| FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HAS UTILIZED A MULTI-FACETED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) STRATEGY AS PART OF ITS ONGOING COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLANNING PROCESS. FAIRVIEW'S CHNA IS PART OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS' REGIONALLY FOCUSED CHNA. BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, FAIRVIEW'S AFFILIATE HOSPITAL IN PITTSFIELD, IS CLOSELY ALIGNED AND INTEGRATED WITH FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SERVICES AND THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLANNING PROCESS REFLECTS THE REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS SERVICES. FAIRVIEW PARTICIPATES AS A PARTNER IN BMC'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND REPORTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH MANY BMC COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. FAIRVIEW ALSO ENHANCES THE BMC ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING PROCESS WITH ITS OWN EFFORTS THAT FOCUS ON THE THIRTEEN RURAL TOWNS OF THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE SERVICE AREA THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS FAIRVIEW'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. FOCUS GROUPS, INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS, SURVEYS, PATIENT FEEDBACK, PARTICIPATION IN NUMEROUS LOCAL GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS CLINICAL, HEALTH STATUS, DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA ALL ARE USED TO PROVIDE A MORE IN-DEPTH SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS.FAIRVIEW'S WELLNESS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE WIDE RANGING. IN-HOSPITAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, BOTH FREE AND LOW-COST, ARE DESIGNED TO RAISE HEALTH LITERACY AND AWARENESS THROUGH PROGRAMMING FOCUSING ON SPECIFIC HEALTH ISSUES INCLUDING HEART DISEASE, PULMONARY DISEASE, NUTRITION, AND DIABETES, AMONG THE TOPICS REGULARLY OFFERED. THE PROGRAMS ARE PRESENTED BY MEMBERS OF FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S MEDICAL STAFF. FAIRVIEW IS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL, LEADING ITS OWN SPECIAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS HEART NIGHT AND BEING AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE EVENTS AND INITIATIVES TO REACH THE TARGETED AUDIENCES OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING SENIOR CENTERS, SCHOOLS AND SOCIAL AGENCIES. AS PART OF THE LARGER SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, FAIRVIEW HAS BENEFITED FROM RESOURCES THAT RESULTED IN OFFERING CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, MOST NOTABLY THE PREVENTION WELLNESS TRUST FUND, AS WELL AS THE LAUNCH OF BHS' CANYON RANCH INSTITUTE LIFE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, A FREE 12-WEEK PROGRAM HELPING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, FAIRVIEW WORKS CLOSELY WITH BMC'S EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WITH EXTENSIVE NETWORKING, TRAINING, EDUCATION, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES FOR REMOTE AREA EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS TO BUILD COMMUNITY CAPACITY BEYOND FAIRVIEW'S WALLS. THESE RURAL COMMUNITIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTEERS, RELY ON FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL AND OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES.THROUGH ITS LOCALIZED PLANNING PROCESS, FAIRVIEW IS AWARE OF COMMUNITY VULNERABILITIES AND NEEDS. IN RESPONSE, FAIRVIEW OFFERS TARGETED PROGRAMS, SUPPORT AND SERVICES BASED ON IDENTIFIED HEALTH ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE RISING FOOD VULNERABILITY OF YOUNG FAMILIES, AS EVIDENCED IN ESCALATING NUMBER OF CHILDREN RECEIVING FREE AND LOW COST MEALS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, LED FAIRVIEW TO PARTNER WITH THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN THE SUMMER BACKPACK PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES A BACKPACK OF FOOD FOR FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE ENROLLED IN THE SUMMER EDUCATION PROGRAM. ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT RESPONDS TO LOCAL NEED ADDRESSES THE ALARMING RATE OF ROAD FATALITIES IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES THAT FAR SURPASSES STATE AND NATIONAL STATISTICS. IN RESPONSE, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SPONSORS DRIVING SAFETY PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS AS WELL AS TEENS, AS WELL AS PROVIDING BRIGHTLY COLORED WALKING VESTS TO MAKE PEDESTRIANS MORE VISIBLE ON THE ROADS. |
| FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: 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. THROUGH EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, FAIRVIEW CONTINUALLY IDENTIFIES PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHCARE, NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THE HOSPITAL CAN PLAY A ROLE. |
| FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: WERE ALL NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN CHNA ADDRESSED? EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND CARDIAC CARE REFLECT FAIRVIEW'S RESPONSIVENESS TO AREAS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. IN ITS ROLE AS A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL SERVING THE RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE BERKSHIRES, FAIRVIEW COLLABORATES WITH BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER (BMC) TO STRENGTHEN PROGRAMS AT FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL AND IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH BEYOND HOSPITAL WALLS. THE LAUNCHING OF OPERATION BETTER START, A SATELLITE PROGRAM OF BMC THAT TARGETS YOUTH OBESITY AND DIABETES EDUCATION, HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO A COMMUNITY COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES TO MAKE A BACKPACK OF FOOD AVAILABLE DURING A SUMMER EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AT RISK, ADDRESSING FOOD VULNERABILITY AND INCREASING THE SUCCESS OF THE VITAL EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT KEEPS CHILDREN FROM FALLING BEHIND ACADEMICALLY. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HAS ESTABLISHED ITS OWN CANYON RANCH LIFE ENHANCEMENT INSTITUTE PROGRAM, A FREE 12-WEEK PROGRAM HELPING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH, FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM AT BMC. IN RURAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT EFFORTS, FAIRVIEW WORKS CLOSELY WITH BMC'S EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WITH EXTENSIVE NETWORKING, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY CAPACITY BUILDING THAT BRINGS RESOURCES TO THE SMALL TOWNS IN THE AREA THAT WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS SUPPORT OTHERWISE. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL FOLLOWS THE PRIORITIES OF THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. 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.BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS (BHS) REGULARLY ASSESSES THE HEALTH NEEDS OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY RESIDENTS AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMMING. BHS COMPILED THE BERKSHIRE COUNTY HEALTH ASSESSMENT REPORT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH INITIATIVE STEERING COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE COUNTY BOARDS OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION, TRI-TOWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BERKSHIRE PUBLIC HEALTH ALLIANCE, PITTSFIELD HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BERKSHIRE UNITED WAY, BERKSHIRE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION, AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY COALITION. THE INTENT IS TO BROADLY IDENTIFY THE MAJOR TRENDS IN HEALTH STATUS AND OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACTORS THAT ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT THE POPULATION OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY. THE FRAMEWORK OF THIS PLAN SPANS FISCAL YEARS 2022-2024. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CHNA WERE: TO GATHER STATISTICALLY VALID INFORMATION ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE RESIDENTS OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY, TO DEVELOP ACCURATE COMPARISONS TO STATE AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS OF HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE MEASURES TO PROVIDE TRENDING INFORMATION FOR THE FUTURE, TO IDENTIFY KEY AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY NEEDS AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, TO UTILIZE FINDINGS FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND HOSPITAL PLANNING ACTIVITIES, AND TO MEET THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S AND IRS REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WHILE DEMOGRAPHIC, SOCIOECONOMIC AND HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE MEANS OF IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL NEEDS AND/OR PROBLEMS, SUCH A BROAD-BASED VIEW CANNOT IDENTIFY ALL OF THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE PROBLEMS FACING A COMMUNITY. THIS IS RATHER ONE STEP OF MANY IN AN ON-GOING PROCESS OF COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING HEALTH STATUS INFORMATION SO THAT, WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND HELP TO ENSURE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE LIVING IN BERKSHIRE COUNTY. WE INCORPORATE FEEDBACK FROM MANY COMMUNITY FORUMS, INCLUDING NORTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY COALITION MONTHLY COMMUNITY MEETINGS, BI-ANNUAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS, RURAL HEALTH PLANNING TEAM, AND MANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH INTERACTIONS.COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ACCESS COMMITTEEAS A STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - ITSELF MADE UP OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS - THIS COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE HEALTH NEEDS AND BARRIERS TO CARE IN OUR SERVICE AREA. THE COMMITTEE OVERSEES THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, DETERMINING TARGET POPULATIONS AND PRIORITIES, DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN AND EVALUATING PERFORMANCE AGAINST GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF PEOPLE FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND MEETS MONTHLY THOUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE BHS COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND ACCESS COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND DISCUSSES COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS, POTENTIAL NEW INITIATIVES, COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND OUTCOMES. THE COMMITTEE FORMALLY REVIEWS ANY UPDATES TO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND REAFFIRMS PRIORITIES ANNUALLY AND COMPLETES A COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INTERNAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND PROGRAM LEADERS MEET TO COORDINATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN AND PROGRAMS. 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 INCLUDES BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE COUNTY BOARDS OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION, BERKSHIRE PUBLIC HEALTH ALLIANCE, TRI-TOWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT, PITTSFIELD HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BERKSHIRE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION, BERKSHIRE UNITED WAY, AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY COALITION. BHS IS THE ONLY HEALTH SYSTEM IN BERKSHIRE COUNTY AND THEREFORE WE ASSUME A SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH MANY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS HAS A STRONG REPUTATION AS A LEADER AND COLLABORATOR IN MEETING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS THROUGH ITS ONGOING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. BHS PLANS TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO THE HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022-2024 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THESE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, NORTH COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HEALTH, CANYON RANCH LIFE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION INITIATIVE, PREVENTION WELLNESS TRUST FUND INITIATIVES, HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, SCREENINGS, SUPPORT GROUPS, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH A NUMBER OF LEVERAGED SOURCES (GRANTS). DUE TO EVER CHANGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS, THE STRATEGIES MAY CHANGE, AND NEW PROGRAMS MAY BE ADDED OR PROGRAMS MAY BE ELIMINATED DURING THE 2022-2024 PERIOD.LISTED BELOW ARE THE IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS, INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS.CLINICAL CARE: ACCESS TO MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, ACCESS FOR UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED, AND HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES.HEALTH BEHAVIORS: ADOLESCENT AND YOUTH - TEEN PREGNANCY, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, OBESITY, SMOKING, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY: CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH, DIABETES, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, MATERNAL/CHILD HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH - DEPRESSION, AND STROKE/BLOOD PRESSURE, COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINATIONPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT: EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.SOCIAL/ECONOMIC: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SAFETY. |

FAIRVIEW'S FISCAL YEAR 2024 COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT CAN BE ACCESSED AT HTTPS://WWW.CHARITIES.AGO.STATE.MA.US/CHARITIES/ |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | AS SUMMARIZED IN PART II, EXPENDITURES BY FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL TO PROTECT OR IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH OR SAFETY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: LINE 1 PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS & HOUSING: LOW INCOME HOUSING ASSISTANCE - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE $7,500. THE HOSPITAL DONATED MONEY TO A LOCAL NON-PROFIT WHICH HELPS PROVIDE HOUSING ASSISTANCE TO LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS.LINE 3 COMMUNITY SUPPORT: EMS COORDINATOR - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE $34,330.

LINE 5 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS: IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE $5,400. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SUPPORTS THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES, TO PROMOTE WELLNESS IN THE VULNERABLE IMMIGRANT POPULATION, AND TO INCREASE VACCINATIONS IN SUCH POPULATION. LINE 7 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE $121,346. FAIRVIEW PROVIDED UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS WITH INFORMATION AND ENROLLMENT ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO ACCESSING HEALTHCARE.LINE 8 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE $71,230.

FVH OFFERED STUDENTS PURSUING SPECIALIZED MEDICAL EDUCATION, INCLUDING PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANTS AND PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AT THE HOSPITAL. FAIRVIEW ALSO OFFERED INTERNSHIPS TO NURSING STUDENTS. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | COMPUTATION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE - IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY - NO BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY HAS BEEN REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 3 BECAUSE ALL GROSS PATIENT CHARGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THESE PATIENTS THAT WERE NOT PAID FROM UNCOMPENSATED CARE POOLS OR PROGRAMS WERE WRITTEN OFF AS "FREE CARE" EXPENSE. A PORTION OF FREE CARE EXPENSE, CALCULATED USING THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES AS COMPUTED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS, IS INCLUDED IN THE "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST" AMOUNT IN SCHEDULE H PART I, LINE 7(A), COLUMN (C). |
| PART III, LINE 4: | FOOTNOTE 4 ("CHARITY CARE") TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND AFFILIATES (INCLUDING FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL) FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023 CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE: "THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CHARITY CARE POLICY CRITERIA WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES." "IF A PATIENT IS INELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR CARE AT REDUCED RATES BECAUSE THE PATIENT'S INCOME EXCEEDS THE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES, SERVICES RENDERED ARE RECORDED AT ESTABLISHED RATES AND ANY UNPAID ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE BALANCE IS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS AFTER A REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE." |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III SECTION B LINE 6 ("MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE RELATING TO PAYMENTS ON LINE 5") WAS DETERMINED USING THE COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY USED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS AND PATIENT POPULATIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY COLLECTION OR BILLING PROCEDURES PURSUANT TO STATE REGULATIONS: PATIENTS ENROLLED IN A STATE HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MASSHEALTH, EMERGENCY AID TO THE ELDERLY, DISABLED AND CHILDREN, HEALTHY START, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PLAN, AND "LOW INCOME PATIENTS" AS DETERMINED BY THE OFFICE OF MEDICAID. PLEASE NOTE THAT FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL (FVH) MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY PATIENT ENROLLED IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROGRAMS FOR THEIR REQUIRED CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES THAT ARE SET FORTH BY EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM. FVH MAY ALSO INITIATE BILLING OR COLLECTION FOR A PATIENT WHO ALLEGES THAT HE OR SHE IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE COSTS OF THE HOSPITAL SERVICES, BUT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF SUCH PARTICIPATION. UPON RECEIPT OF SATISFACTORY PROOF THAT A PATIENT IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (INCLUDING RECEIPT OR VERIFICATION OF A SIGNED APPLICATION), FVH SHALL CEASE ITS BILLING OR COLLECTION ACTIVITIES. FVH MAY CONTINUE COLLECTION ACTION ON ANY LOW INCOME PATIENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO THE LOW INCOME PATIENT DETERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT LOW INCOME PATIENT STATUS HAS BEEN TERMINATED OR EXPIRED.

| 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. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO REMOVE THE OBSTACLES TO HEALTH CARE DUE TO COVERAGE, AND HAS INVESTED IN ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR THE ADVOCAY FOR ACCESS TEAM. THE NEW OFFICE IS LOCATED OFF OF THE MAIN HALLWAY AND OFFERS A LESS PUBLIC AREA TO HANDLE THE INCREASED UTILIZATION AND PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO OFFER A SAFE AND RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT. FLEXIBLE HOURS, INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS, AND TRANSLATION SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO LOWER BARRIERS TO CARE.TRAINED STAFF INITIATE, SUPPORT AND FACILITATE ENROLLMENT TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES NAVIGATE EXTENSIVE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES. A FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS AVAILABLE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN CREATING FLEXIBLE BILLING ARRANGEMENTS, ADDRESS BILLING ISSUES AND QUESTIONS, AND REFER PATIENTS TO THE ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS OFFICE WHEN APPROPRIATE. AS A TESTAMENT TO IMPACT, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS COORDINATOR HAS BEEN SELECTED BY BERKSHIRE MAGAZINE'S "BERKSHIRE 25" IN 2016, HONORING INDIVIDUALS IN THE BERKSHIRE REGION WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND CONTRIBUTE TO MAKE LIFE IN THE BERKSHIRES SO SPECIAL.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.FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL ENGAGES WITH THE COMMUNITY USING MULTIPLE TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL MEDIA AVENUES TO SHARE INFORMATION ACROSS THE MULTIPLE GEOGRAPHIC, SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC AUDIENCES WE SERVE. THROUGH COLLABORATION AND ONGOING DISCUSSION, FAIRVIEW DISPERSES IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION TO SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THEIR FORMAL AND INFORMAL NETWORKS, WHICH ARE PARTICULARLY STRONG IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, TO REACH THE NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING POPULATION, FAIRVIEW SHARES IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION THROUGH SOCIAL SERVICE, RELIGIOUS, EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL AND BUSINESS CHANNELS WHERE OTHER NEEDS ARE MET. 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.DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE REGION AS A VACATION AND RETIREMENT DESTINATION, HOUSING COSTS HAVE ESCALATED AND EXCEED THE SCOPE OF LOCAL WAGES, FORCING MANY FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO STRUGGLE WITH BASIC LIVING EXPENSES. FAMILIES LIVING BELOW 150% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL AND THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. THE NUMBER OF ELDERS (SURPASSING 20% IN SOME RURAL LOCATIONS) EXCEEDS STATE AVERAGES. STUDENTS ON REDUCED OR FREE LUNCH SERVICES HAVE BEEN RISING STEADILY AND NOW APPROACH 40% IN THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS. FOR THIS REASON, WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS AND SENIOR ORGANIZATIONS ARE CENTRAL TO FAIRVIEW'S COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH STRATEGY. RURAL HOMELESSNESS IS A HIDDEN, BUT PERVASIVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COLLABORATES CLOSELY WITH BOTH THE LOCAL HOMELESS SHELTER AND VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE TO ARRANGE FOR APPROPRIATE CLINICAL CARE FOR THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION. FAIRVIEW ALSO DONATES UNSOLD FRESHLY COOKED MEALS FROM ITS LUNCH AND DINNER SERVICES TO CONSTRUCT, A GREAT BARRINGTON NON-PROFIT "COMMITTED TO AFFORABLE HOUSING FOR EVERYONE...IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE REGION." THESE MEALS ARE DONATED THREE DAYS A WEEK, SUPPORTING THE SHELTER AND AVOIDING UNNECESSARY WASTE OF HIGH QUALITY FOODS. 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 PARTICIPATES IN THE BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER MONTHLY COMMUNITY BENEFITS MEETINGS AS WELL AS MAINTAINING A SEPARATE FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE WHICH MEETS ONCE 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.THROUGH THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING PROCESS, FAIRVIEW HAS ARTICULATED AND QUANTIFIED THE ISSUES AND RESPONSES THAT ADDRESS PRIORITY NEEDS FROM THE STATEWIDE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

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 RECREATION, PROGRAMS SUPPORTING AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO LOCAL HEALTH ISSUES SUCH AS SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND ROAD SAFETY INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE DRIVER SKILLS IN RESPONSE TO HIGH RATES OF ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES ON UNLIT RURAL COUNTRY ROADS.FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA IS DESIGNATED A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED REGION. A HIGH PRIORITY HAS BEEN PLACED ON STABILIZING THE CURRENT MEDICAL COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS ATTRACTING NEW PHYSICIANS AND SPECIALISTS TO THE REGION. FAIRVIEW COLLABORATES WITH AREA MEDICAL PRACTICES AND SERVICES TO BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION OF SERVICES AND INFORMATION TO ASSURE HIGH QUALITY CARE IS AVAILABLE. 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.IN ADDITION, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCESS FOR STUDENTS TO EXPLORE AND FURTHER THEIR SKILLS IN MEDICINE. DEVELOPING OUR FUTURE WORKFORCE THROUGH ACCESSIBLE TRAINING AND CAREER PROGRAMMING IS STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP A FUTURE WORKFORCE IN AN INCREASING CHALLENGING HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. 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.

STATISTICS PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS REFLECT HIGH RATES OF OBESITY AMONG YOUTH IN THE AREA, A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO THE IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM HEALTH STATUS OF OUR COMMUNITY. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SUCESSFULLY EXPANDED BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER'S OPERATION BETTER START PROGRAM TO SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COUNTY, PROVIDING A TEAM OF NUTRITION SPECIALISTS WHO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. EARLY EFFORTS TO REACH THE ADOLESCENT POPULATION WERE LIMITED DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS TO HOSPITAL-BASED PROGRAMS DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC AND TRANSPORTATION OBSTACLES TO ATTENDANCE.
