As part of National Rural Health Day, Redington-Fairview General Hospital (RFGH) has been recognized with a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. The annual Performance Leadership Awards honor top-performing rural hospitals across the country, celebrating those that rank in the top quartile (75th percentile or above) in key areas such as Quality, Outcomes, and Patient Perspective.

The Performance Leadership Awards are based on results from the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a national framework used to measure and benchmark the performance of rural hospitals. The INDEX provides objective insights across multiple areas that influence hospital operations, finance, and patient care outcomes.

“The areas of quality, outcomes, and patient perspective are cornerstones of healthcare delivery across rural America, and this year’s Performance Leadership Award recipients are establishing a standard of excellence for their rural peers to follow,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director of The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We are delighted to shine a spotlight on such strong performance and honor the achievement of these hospitals on National Rural Health Day.”

The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group, and BridgeTower Media have named Redington-Fairview General Hospital (RFGH) as one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Maine in the large employer category. Read the full story here.

At Redington-Fairview General Hospital, we’re serious about data privacy and security. That’s why we allow you to decide who has access to your data.

We believe that your health data should be available to you and your care providers regardless of where care was provided, which is why we practice the safest, most secure form of health data sharing.

When you choose to share your health information, you can be confident that only individuals and organizations authorized by law can access it for legitimate purposes. You can also trust that data is protected end-to-end, so no one else can see it.

By “opting in” to secure data sharing, you ensure that clinicians providing care for you at other organizations have the information they need to make the best and safest care decisions for you.

Redington-Fairview General Hospital is beginning an exciting phase of expanding space for our provider practices. Our providers have outgrown their current spaces, which are no longer adequate for delivering high-quality care.

Starting within the next week, we will begin setting up barriers in preparation for the construction of our new Medical Office Building. As a result, the current main entrance off Fairview Avenue will be closed to patients, visitors, and staff.

Access to the Medical Office Building will be via the Jones Street entrance.

Access to the Emergency Department, Radiology Services, or the Lab will use the Emergency Department entrance.

The week of April 21, demolition will begin at 64 Fairview Avenue. This site will serve as a laydown yard for construction before being expanded into additional parking.

During the next 18 months there will be many construction vehicles and construction workers crossing Fairview Avenue. Please respect the speed limit on Fairview Avenue for everyone’s safety.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
