ABOUT
RFGH
 Redington-Fairview
General Hospital (RFGH) has been providing care
as an independent, community hospital in Skowhegan,
Maine since 1952, when the first community-owned
Fairview Hospital was incorporated. In 1962, a
new 49-bed facility was built, and 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.
 In
2009, a new 60,000+ square foot medical office
building connected to the hospital at the ground
and first floor levels was completed. This ecologically-friendly,
three story building houses many of the hospital’s
outpatient primary and specialty services including
primary care, pediatrics, neurology, general surgery,
OB/GYN, and orthopedic surgery.
 Today,
RFGH is a 25-bed critical access facility that
provides health care for more than 30,000 residents
living in Somerset County - its primary service
area, which extends from Skowhegan to the Canadian
border. The hospital continues to grow and add
services to meet the needs of its population.
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.
