Neighbors Caring for Neighbors
Healthier Together is Berkshire Health Systems’ commitment to shape the future of local care with the community. Launched publicly in September 2026, this comprehensive campaign brings donors, community partners, clinicians, and neighbors to support the services that Berkshire residents and visitors rely on most.
Our Health System
Berkshire Health Systems is the largest healthcare provider west of Springfield, Massachusetts. Our system includes Berkshire Medical Center, Fairview Hospital, and North Adams Regional Hospital; three urgent care centers; the Phelps Cancer Center; Berkshire VNA; and a regional network of primary and specialty care providers.
Why Philanthropy Matters
Community support helps BHS respond to changing health needs, invest in modern facilities and technology, build the healthcare workforce, and expand support for patients and families. Every gift helps protect access to high-quality care in the Berkshires.
Our Volunteers
The volunteers on our Development Committee and Philanthropy Council are at the heart of this campaign's success. Through their generosity, advocacy, and connections throughout our community, they have helped inspire support for a healthier future across Berkshire County. We are deeply grateful for their leadership and commitment.
