Print Story | Email Story
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) has announced changes to the Lewis Avenue entryway to Fairview Hospital as part of Fairview's campus revitalization plan. 
 
Effective Monday, April 27, 2026, the main hospital entry on Lewis Avenue will be altered.
 
The Lewis Avenue entryway to Fairview is a forked road, with the left side taking traffic to the front of the hospital and its parking area, while the right side is for access to the Fairview Emergency Department. The left side will be permanently closed as the construction project begins, leaving the right side open for both Emergency Department access and main hospital and parking access. Drivers can also continue to use the hospital's West Avenue entry to access the hospital and parking.
 
The Fairview revitalization project will feature construction of a new outpatient building adjacent to the current hospital which will include a new MRI, imaging, and surgical suites, and an expanded emergency department. The upgrades will offer more space for state-of-the-art treatment and technology, allowing Fairview Hospital to meet the changing needs of its community.
 
These crucial upgrades to strengthen Fairview Hospital will be made possible in part due to support from the community.

Coaches varsity student-athletes from around South County participated in Wednesday’s event, helping to coordinate competition on two sides of the track and throughout the infield.
