“For years, St. Joseph's operated as the smallest of four acute care hospitals located within a few blocks from each other downtown. More than half of all St. Joseph's patients came from outside the city of Saint Paul and 72 percent of the hospital's total emergency department visits were considered potentially preventable with proper primary care, which was one of the highest rates in the state. Acute services and traditional emergency room care can be expensive and may only address short-term healthcare needs without providing a long-term solution for patients. Based on more than 300 community conversations over two years, it became clear that the current care model at St. Joseph's was not meeting the health needs of the surrounding communities. Nor was that model financially sustainable for our healthcare system. As part of our commitment and vision to provide affordable, accessible, and equitable care - the hospital was reimagined and now served as a Community Health and Wellness Hub with several partnerships and programs that began in summer 2022. The reimagined spaces represents Fairview's intentional, holistic approach to health and well-being and commitment to serving all its community, especially those who have been traditionally underserved. Services will include no-to-low cost primary care, other supportive services and education (provided by Minnesota Community Care, a federally qualified health center), expanded outpatient mental health and addition services, an enhanced adult day program, a food distribution partnership with Second Harvest Heartland and long-term acute care services. A newly established Fairview Center for Community Health Equity will serve as an incubator for the next generation of community-based health and wellness programs focused on prevention and addressing the Social Determinants of Health. The Hub will also have a new community education space featuring conference and meeting facilities for community convenings, outreach programs, and wellness services, such as mobile vaccination and food access programs. St. Joseph's discontinued providing inpatient mental health services in June 2022. The emergency department at St. Joseph's discontinued services in December 2020.”
