Fairview is honored to be the 2025 recipient of the American Hospital Association’s Foster G. McGaw Prize. The prestigious annual prize honors one health system across the nation for its deep and sustained commitment to community health. This is the first time a Minnesota health system has won the award in nearly 30 years.
Our community work does not begin or end with this prize. Rather, it affirms our dedication to our neighbors and strengthens our resolve to continue and expand our efforts.
