PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) has announced that the final plans are in place for opening of a new entry and exit for its Medical Arts Complex (MAC) and the city's plans for reopening North Street in front of Berkshire Medical Center.

The new MAC lot entry and exit, which provides access from the new city rotary and the main BMC driveway, will open to traffic on Monday, Nov. 3, 2025. This will allow patients to access the MAC parking lot from the rotary through the BMC driveway. Entry and exit will continue from Charles Street, as well.

The city has announced that on the same date, Monday, Nov. 3, the section of North Street in front of BMC will be reopened to one-way traffic – southbound only off the rotary and from the BMC driveway.

BHS reminds pedestrians to use extreme caution when crossing North Street in front of BMC with the reopening of motor vehicle traffic. Limited on-street parking in front of the BHS Bishop Clapp Building will continue, facing south only.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
 
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner. 
 
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
 
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
 
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
