ABOUT
RFGH
 The
roots of Redington-Fairview General Hospital date
back to 1952 when the first community-owned Fairview
Hospital was incorporated. A new 49-bed Fairview
Hospital was built in 1962. Following a merger
with the Redington Hospital in 1969, a new south
wing was added, increasing bed capacity to 92.
In 1989 another addition was completed to allow
for expansion of growing ambulatory care services.
In 1993 a new Emergency Department and a newly
equipped and renovated Radiology room were opened.
To ensure that RFGH would continue to provide
the best health care possible for our community,
a major construction and renovation project was
completed in 1996. The project included a new
Special Care Unit, operating suite, ambulatory
surgery unit, Birthing Center, and Clinic as well
as expansion of the Radiology Department, Laboratory
and Oncology service.
RFGH provides health care services for more than
30,000 people in more than ten towns in the primary
service area, which extends from Skowhegan to
the Canadian border.
Founded in a tradition of community service,
and strengthened by a readiness to respond to
change, Redington-Fairview General Hospital looks
forward to a bright healthcare future — for
our employees, medical staff and first and foremost
— for those we serve. Our patients receive
high quality modern health services while enjoying
personalized care close to home. At RFGH our patients
are also our neighbors and friends.
