As Ms. Segal stepped into Fauquier Health as CEO in 2022, the 97-bed hospital faced a range of challenges that she quickly prioritized. Alongside operational leaders, she implemented targeted clinical quality programs that led to a dramatic drop in preventable harms, patient falls and pressure injuries. Her efforts also saw a 30% increase in employee engagement scores. Fauquier Health then achieved back-to-back “A” hospital safety grades from The Leapfrog Group in 2024, following a prior “D” rating. That same year, the hospital was named a “Top General Hospital” by Leapfrog, making it Virginia’s only recipient. Ms. Segal’s transformative approach led her to be honored with Brentwood, Tenn.-based Lifepoint Health’s prestigious “Fleetwood Award” in 2025.
