This MA Hospital Lands in the Top 20: Critical Access Hospitals

One thing that I have to do on a regular basis since I received my transplanted kidney in 2017 is about every eight weeks I have to get blood work done. The reason for the blood work is to make sure my kidney function and anti-rejection/medication levels along with other important levels are in range. Over the years, especially during the pandemic, I would get my bloodwork done right here in Berkshire County.

Fairview Hospital is a Prime Choice for Receiving Care

Even though my nephrologist is located in Springfield, I like to get my bloodwork done ahead of time in the Berkshires so the doctor and I can talk about the results at my upcoming appointment. If you need to get blood work done, Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington is top-notch. From my own personal experience, the service you get from Fairview is of high quality and the hospital's staff is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
