Fairview Press (formerly Deaconess Press) was the publishing former arm of Fairview Health Services, a regional healthcare provider affiliated with the University of Minnesota. Fairview Press published books and other forms of patient education materials on topics such as aging and eldercare, grief and bereavement, and health and wellness. Fairview Press published from Minneapolis, Minnesota until their assets were sold to the Rowman and Littlefield Publishing Group of Lanham, Maryland.
Publishing commenced under the name of Deaconess Press, with an initial editorial focus on behavioral therapy—including chemical dependency treatment, recovery, and prevention literature.
Name changed to Fairview Press. In 1996, Fairview Press signed a distribution agreement with the National Book Network, and expanded its editorial focus to trade book acquisition. Titles from this period encompassed a broad range of non-fiction books dedicated to parenting and family issues. Fairview Press authors appeared in various mass media outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The company published a number of popular general-interest hardcover books during this time, including Good Morning, Captain (autobiography of Bob Keeshan, TV’s original Captain Kangaroo) and a book series by TV’s original Slim Goodbody. Trade paperback parenting titles from this period included Jeanette Gadeberg’s Raising Strong Daughters and Brave New Girls, as well as Selling Out America’s Children by David Walsh (psychologist), founder of National Institute on Media and the Family.
