Long Before COVID-19, Saratoga Hospital Had Program For Behavioral Health Services

Posted onJune 18, 2020June 19, 2020

Last year, long before COVID-19, Saratoga Hospital launched a pilot “collaborative care” program to help primary care physicians connect patients to behavioral health services. Today, hospital officials say behavioral health services are integrated into all eight Saratoga Hospital Medical Group primary care practices—a model that is proving invaluable in helping patients cope with the stress of the pandemic.

“Our world is changing irrevocably, and that’s bound to have a significant impact on mental health,” said Janice Prichett, executive director of behavioral health at Saratoga Hospital. “People are worried about their health, their loved ones and their jobs. Many are feeling sad, anxious, or isolated.

“Even those with the best coping skills are likely to need some support. This integrated, collaborative model makes it easier for them to get help.”

She said the model works, in part, because it recognizes the importance of patients’ trusted relationships with their primary care provider. Patients share their concerns with their primary care provider and, within 24 hours, are contacted by a licensed behavioral health professional.

Business Report: Everyone Is Their Own Movie

By Bill Murray and Gretta Keene

Relationships lie at the heart of a business. As psychotherapists, we have observed that effective communication promotes healthy relationships. And healthy relationships will improve the outcome, whatever challenges your business is currently facing.

We teach our clients this important and often overlooked principle of effective communication: Everyone is in their own movie.

We all tend to assume that others are experiencing life in the same way we are. In fact, that’s why we’re often puzzled—or outraged—by other people’s words and actions. Their behaviors don’t make sense in our movie, so we label them wrong or bad or stupid or worse.

By Susan E. Campbell
Prime Group, a real estate investment company and a major owner/operator of self-storage units, plans to build a six-story building on Broadway in Saratoga Springs that would become its new office spaces and house other tenants.
The company has outgrown its office space at 85 Railroad Place in Saratoga Springs and is planning to relocate headquarters to the new construction on Broadway, opposite Congress Park, according to founder and chief executive Bob Moser.
The structure’s design calls for six stories with two levels of underground parking.
“Our staff will occupy the top two floors and the rest will be rented,” said Moser. “Tenants will be service providers such as lawyers, accountants and the types of companies Prime works with,” he said. “We are a relationship driven company.”
The administrative staff in Saratoga Springs is upward of 70 now and will grow to more than 100 by the time the building takes occupancy, he said.
“One hundred percent of the operation will be at the new site, including acquisitions, management, executive, and leasing staff,” said Moser.
On April 30, Moser’s team met by video with the city Planning Board to present its mixed-use, $25 million project at 269 Broadway, on one-half acre of raw land purchased by Moser from the personal portfolio of Tom Roohan of Roohan Realty, he said.

By Christine Graf
Although it is too soon to know what impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the local summer tourism season, the local business community is trying to remain optimistic.
“We are cautiously optimistic,” said Kevin Tuohy, general manager of the 168-room Holiday Inn on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. “Although each time I read the news, it seems there is less good news coming out. But, at this point, we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we can be as busy as we can possibly be.”
Tuohy keeps abreast of information that comes from a variety of sources, including the governor’s office, the chambers of commerce, and Discover Saratoga. He is a board member of Discover Saratoga, and they are providing regular COVID-19 updates at www.discoversaratoga.org.

By Jennifer Farnsworth
Since the beginning of the “NY on Pause” shutdown brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, Katie Camarro, owner of Sundaes Best Hot Fudge Sauce, started thinking about what she could do to help.
At first, she provided gift baskets to first responders which, she said, served as a pick-me-up that reminded them that they are recognized for all they are doing.
Soon after, Camarro decided to reach out to her community’s healthcare workers. Sundaes Best donated chocolate to medical staff at the Wilton Medical Arts and Urgent Care, as a way to honor those who work on the front lines, facing the challenges of the virus outbreak.
“We simply thought it would be a nice thing to do, and it was so well received by the staff,” said Camarro.
Next, Camarro plans to deliver Chocolate Farmer dip and pretzels to each hospital department, with the help of her husband and co-owner Jeff Shinaman.
The two have had to adjust the business after realizing that they would not be able to market the product in venues that would normally bring in revenue. Camarro said she is thankful for her wholesale business.

In an effort to help first responders who daily put themselves at risk during the coronavirus pandemic, a local restoration company is disinfecting area firehouses and police stations free of cost.
Kennedy Property Management (KPM) restoration is primarily a water damage company, but when the pandemic hit Saratoga County owner James Kennedy decided to expand services to help the community.
The company sends cleaners each week to perform the services. After wiping down each surface using industrial strength, CDC-approved disinfectants, they use an aerosol fog machine loaded with another sanitizing solution. According to Kennedy, he is deploying OSHA-certified technicians, who are trained specifically to deal with hazardous conditions.
