Fairview works with local communities throughout much of Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin.  Community health makes a difference in the communities we serve through a wide variety of partnerships and activities.  We begin by assessing the health needs of the geographic regions Fairview serves. 

After an initial assessment of the communities assets and risks we then can target our community programs to address some of the areas identified by the assessments by working in partnership with community organizations such as schools, congregations and public and private agencies. 

Our preventive “upstream” approach focuses on protecting and promoting the health of the community as a whole – helping people stay healthy and reducing risks to their health.
