Fairview Hospital has earned a place on The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s “Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals” list for 14 consecutive years, most recently in 2026. The hospital has received the Healthgrades “Outstanding Patient Experience Award” every year from 2023-2025, as well as the 2024 Women’s Choice Award as one of “America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience.” The Joint Commission has designated the hospital as acute stroke ready, and the American Heart Association recognized the hospital with five “Get With the Guidelines” awards in 2025 across rural coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke categories. As a baby-friendly hospital under the “Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,” the hospital follows internationally recognized best practices for maternity care, breastfeeding support and early bonding. The hospital engages the community through its free “Destination Better Health 2025” seminar series, covering topics including blood pressure management, atrial fibrillation, arthritis and postpartum adjustment. Fairview recently announced a campus revitalization plan that includes a new 44,000-square-foot outpatient building with expanded surgical and imaging suites, a new MRI and a larger emergency department, with completion targeted for the end of 2028, supported by a $1 million leadership donation from The Donald C. McGraw Foundation.
