North Berkshire Doctors Still Covered by BMC HealthNet

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Northern Berkshire Ob/Gyn in North Adams is reassuring patients that Drs. Charles O'Neill and Susan Yates are still credentialed with Boston Medical Center's HealthNet program, and are still seeing BMC HealthNet patients.

BMC HealthNet sent a letter in error, leading HealthNet patients to believe they might need to choose a new provider.

"The letter is incorrect, and Dr. O'Neill and Dr. Yates are still credentialed by BMC HealthNet," said Shari Cristofolini, practice manager at Northern Berkshire Ob/Gyn. "We regret any misunderstanding, and we are working with BMC HealthNet to send a new letter correcting the error. In the meantime, patients should assume they can continue to see Dr. O’Neill and Dr. Yates."

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
