IN FACT, THE OPENING OF OUR NEW HEALTHCARE CENTER IN PITTSFIELD WAS A STAFF-DRIVEN STRATEGIC DECISION BASED ON STAFF FEEDBACK THAT A PITTSFIELD FOOTPRINT WOULD MAKE IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR 50% OF OUR PATIENT POPULATION TO ACCESS SERVICES. A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTHSTUDIES FROM THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION AND OTHER MEDICAL AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS HAVE SHOWN THAT SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, I.E., THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE, LEARN, WORK AND PLAY, DETERMINE APPROXIMATELY 80% OF A PERSON'S OVERALL HEALTH. EVERY PATIENT IS CAREFULLY SCREENED TO ASSESS ANY BARRIERS TO GOOD HEALTH SUCH AS HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY, UNEMPLOYMENT, AND THEN REFERRED TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THIS IS TREATED AS A FULLY INTEGRATED COMPONENT OF OUR PATIENTS' HEALTHCARE.VIM EXPANSION: MEET GROWING PATIENT NEEDIN 2024, VIM LAUNCHED A SECOND HEALTH CARE CENTER IN PITTSFIELD. THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS COMING FROM PITTSFIELD HAS TRIPLED SINCE 2019 AND THE FINANCIAL AND LOGISTICAL COST OF TRAVEL TO GREAT BARRINGTON IS OFTEN A BARRIER FOR OUR PATIENTS.
