About Us
Fauquier Health has spent the last eight years changing the culture of care.
Since May of 2000, Fauquier Hospital has been a Planetree affiliate. Planetree is a model of personalized care that is all-encompassing, from the design of the physical environment to the welcoming of family members as part of the health care solution.
Millions of dollars have been spent transforming the hospital into a beautiful, soothing, healing environment. Artwork graces the walls and soft music fills the hallways.
The hospital staff takes great pride in providing nurturing, patient-centered care. Family and friends are welcome anytime, day or night, and each of the 97 patient rooms is designed as a single-occupancy room with a bed for caregivers to spend the night.
A patient concierge visits with admitted patients and offers a friendly ear and a helping hand.
Fauquier Hospital is a Planetree Designated FacilityPlanetree is all about people caring for people. At Fauquier Hospital, we are all about providing friendly, nurturing, compassionate and personalized care. We look at every hospital experience from the perspective of the patient so that we can provide the best holistic care possible.

“Hospital food” is also out-of-the-ordinary at Fauquier Health; The Bistro on the Hill provides food options for patients and their guests. Earning a reputation of its own in Warrenton, the Bistro serves everything from brick-oven pizza to gourmet pasta, from a fresh soup and salad bar to shrimp stir-fry. Bakers keep the dessert case filled with fresh cakes and pies, cookies and tarts. Community groups frequently congregate at The Bistro, and catering for off-site events is available.
The hospital’s goal throughout its transformation was to become a designated Planetree facility.
In May of last year, Planetree representatives performed a final review. Fauquier Hospital was among only five in the nation – and the only one in Virginia – to claim the patient-centered care designation.
What does this mean? Fauquier Hospital has been recognized nationwide for doing the most advanced work in patient-centered care. The hospital was judged on more than 40 specific criteria, relating to quality of care, and the ways in which that care is delivered.
Becoming a Planetree-designated site was, for Fauquier Hospital, not an end, but a beginning. The hospital’s administration and staff continue to strive for patient-centered innovation.
