GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires (NPC) aims to assist nonprofit leaders in improving their wellbeing and thus their ability to continue having a meaningful impact in our community.
 
On July 28 from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m., instructor Susan Taylor will host a 90-minute, online Masterclass in which participants will explore how to identify and shift limiting mindsets that contribute to overwhelm and depletion — and instead cultivate mindsets that foster vitality, resilience, collaboration, and purpose.
 
Entitled "Wellbeing Matters: Shifting Mindsets for Sustainable Impact," the Masterclass is ideal for executives as well as frontline staff, changemakers and community leaders who want to serve others without sacrificing their own wellbeing.
 
NPC's associate director McCaela Donovan said, "This program is especially valuable for those navigating rapid change, expanding organizational reach, and recovering from periods of high stress." Participants will learn how mindsets affect effectiveness, how to recognize limiting beliefs, apply strategies to cultivate resilience, and create the beginnings of a personalized action plan to prioritize wellbeing.
 
According to a press release:
 
Susan Taylor is a coach and facilitator with more than 30 years of experience working with some of the most renowned thought leaders in emotional, spiritual, and leadership intelligence. She is passionate about empowering clients to unlock their potential and achieve meaningful results in both their personal and professional lives.
 
The cost of the "Wellness Matters" Masterclass is $50. Register online at npcberkshires.org. Additional wellness workshops, some in-person, will take place in the fall.

Berkshire Health Systems Dedicates Fairview Hospital Laboratory to Gene Dellea

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems has dedicated the renovated Fairview Hospital Laboratory to Eugene Dellea, the longtime former president of Fairview and the former Hillcrest Hospital, and a senior leader at BHS for decades. 
 
The Gene Dellea Laboratory at Fairview Hospital is designed to honor Dellea's extraordinary legacy of service to healthcare in Berkshire County,
 
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Monday, June 29, at Fairview, bringing together nearly 50 guests, including Dellea's family and friends, local elected officials including state Rep. Leigh Davis, BHS trustees and staff, and Fairview employees. 
 
Welcomed by BHS President & CEO Darlene Rodowicz, a series of speakers reflected on his decades of dedication to healthcare in the Berkshires, his leadership at Hillcrest and Fairview, and his lasting impact on patients, colleagues, and the community. Speakers included Dr. Alec Belman, Fairview chief of staff; Tony Scibelli, BHS vice president and Fairview chief operating officer; and Select Board Chair Stephen Bannon, also a Fairview pharmacist.
 
Bannon presented Dellea with a special citation recognizing his lifelong commitment to the health and wellness of Berkshire County residents. Dellea himself shared heartfelt stories from his early years managing the lab at Hillcrest Hospital and his many years serving Fairview.
 
The celebration also recognized the generous anonymous donors whose $1 million gift made it possible for Fairview Hospital to renovate and move the clinical laboratory. The upgraded space supports improved infrastructure, new diagnostic technology and equipment, and a more convenient location for patients and staff. 
 
"This meaningful investment honors Gene's remarkable legacy while strengthening the care Fairview provides to the nearly 30,000 people who rely on its laboratory services each year," said Rodowicz.
