Highlights that support Fallon’s business objectives and mission in light of the pandemic include:
- Relaxed administrative procedures and improved access to health care services, including telehealth.
- Established a dedicated hotline (1-877-835-8440, TRS 711) to connect members with representatives who can address questions about the coronavirus, discuss available benefits and provide phone numbers for additional help.
- Donated $100,000 in COVID-19 relief funds including $25,000 to 'Worcester Together' and $75,000 in emergency mini-grants to meet evolving needs of the most vulnerable members in the community.
- Launched 'Operation Stay Connected', an outreach initiative to reach as many members as possible during this uncertain time, with a specific focus on reaching those who may be at high-risk for COVID-19.
- Transformed the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model in the age of COVID-19 to keep Summit ElderCare and Fallon Health Weinberg PACE participants safe and well. Examples include more home, telephonic and video check-ins for care. These range from clinical visits to activities to help mitigate social isolation.
- Prepared for the transition of Fallon's newest PACE center on Grove Street in Worcester into a 24/7 COVID-19 positive infirmary for eligible Summit ElderCare participants who are actively symptomatic and who need sub-acute care.
