Media coverage of Fairview's innovation work
Work at Fairview to change the care and payment models has garnered local and national media attention. See a sample of what others have said about our innovation work.
Featured media coverage: The June 2011 issue of Twin Cities Business magazine includes a feature on Fairview's work to deliver more value and "bend the cost curve." The story includes interviews with Fairview President and CEO Mark Eustis, Fairview Physician Associates President Dave Moen, M.D., as well as staff at Fairview Eagan Clinic. It also retraces the events and circumstances that led Fairview and Medica to ultimately forge a new type of reimbursement contract—one that recognizes value in the form of lower costs, improved outcomes and improved patient experience.
