Community Health and Wellness
Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital has begun construction on a campus expansion project, which includes a five-story inpatient addition with 78 new inpatient beds, as well as clinical support and ambulatory space. The project will fund $4.9M for community health in support of Mass General Brigham’s efforts to improve the health of our communities.
The priorities and strategies for the BWFH Community Health Impact Funds are determined by the Community Advisory Board (CAB), with the distribution directed by the Allocation Committee, and guided by our 2022-23 Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. Community Health Impact Funds will support mental and behavioral health, including substance use disorder. As we are committed to a widespread transparent process, timely updates will be made to this site, regular newsletters, and social media.
