Fairview Hospital Recognized by Women’s Choice Award

GREAT BARRINGTON — Fairview Hospital has been recognized as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience and a Best Hospital for Emergency Care by the Women’s Choice Award. These honors place Fairview among the top 100 hospitals in the nation within its size category, based on number of beds.

Today’s patients are more engaged in their healthcare decisions than ever before, and they expect a seamless, compassionate experience throughout their care journey. Hospitals that prioritize patient experience not only improve outcomes but also build trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships with their communities.

“Fairview’s providers and staff can be justifiably proud of these national recognitions, once again validating their commitment to outstanding care,” said Anthony Scibelli, Berkshire Health Systems vice president and Fairview Hospital chief operating officer. “We serve a very tight-knit community, and the loyalty our patients and their loved ones have shown and continue to show push us to excellence.”

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a positive patient experience is strongly linked to better disease management, treatment adherence, and overall health outcomes. It also boosts employee morale, reduces staff turnover, and helps attract top talent, making it a win-win for patients and providers alike.

“By raising your standards to meet the highest expectations — often held by women — you’re giving everyone the best care possible,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award. “This award is more than a badge of honor. It lifts the entire hospital and all service lines by recognizing the exceptional experience you provide — not only for women, but for all patients.”
