# Valley Health Regional Collaborative October 8, 2026

The Valley Health Regional Collaborative meeting was held October 8, 2026, and recorded by Greenfield Community Television. Members reviewed September minutes and moved to accept them; the transcript does not capture a vote. The collaborative reported vaccine clinics and in-home flu shots, other nursing and public-health work, and the resignation of a staff member whose position will be posted. No contract award, bid approval, or purchasing decision was identified.

Discussion focused on sustaining the collaborative after FY27. Members said an attorney is reviewing the intermunicipal agreement (IMA) language, and they are exploring anticipated state funding and possible town contributions. Greenfield estimated about $300,000 would be needed to retain current staff, compared with approximately $485,000 currently received; no funding allocation was approved. Shutesbury requested other towns’ health fee schedules to inform a possible fee review, including plan-review charges, but no fee changes were adopted. Members scheduled the next meeting for November 5, 2026.
