GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) has scheduled a community meeting in July for area residents to ask questions about and comment on planned renovations to the Fairview Hospital campus.

 

The campus revitalization plan blends historical preservation with innovative design to better integrate new technologies and provide a more welcoming, personalized, and inclusive environment for patients at every step of their care journey. 

 

A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at the Berkshire South Regional Community Center, 15 Crissey Rd., Great Barrington. BHS leaders and members of the project team will be on hand to discuss the proposed building plans. Berkshire Health Systems looks forward to hearing community input during this important meeting and partnering with staff, donors, and the entire community to ensure a successful renovation of its beloved community hospital.

 

While specific details of the project are still being finalized, the overall elements of the plan include construction of a new outpatient building adjacent to the current hospital which will include new surgical and imaging suites, including a new MRI, and an expanded emergency department. There are also plans to renovate a floor in the existing building to create modern new patient rooms. Together, these upgrades will offer more space for state-of-the-art treatment and technology, allowing Fairview Hospital to meet the changing needs of its community.
