Segal named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s “2026 Women Hospital CEOs to Know” for second consecutive year. 

WARRENTON, VIRGINIA, July 17, 2026 – Fauquier Health Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Segal, 
FACHE was named to the Becker’s Hospital Review “2026 Women Hospital CEOs to Know” list published 
this week. Made up of 236 women presidents and CEOs around the country, Becker’s Healthcare stated 
those listed are recognized for “driving growth, expanding access to care, and cultivating workplace cultures 
where providers and patients both thrived. Becker’s is proud to celebrate these exceptional women.” 

During her tenure at Fauquier Health, Segal has focused on improvements in quality care that have 
ultimately led to two consecutive designations as a Top General Hospital by Leapfrog, along with helping to 
develop an employee culture that has resulted in a 30% increase in employee engagement scores. She has 
also overseen multiple investments in new technology, such as the recent deployment of robotics for spine 
surgery and hip and knee replacement surgery, and increased access to care through the addition of 
providers including primary care, gastroenterology, and urology. 

“Our community is fortunate to have a leader like Becca at the helm of Fauquier Health,” said Ashley 
Smith, Fauquier Health Board of Trustees Chair. “We have a hospital and healthcare system here that 
provides exceptional quality care and employs remarkable people who strive every day to improve the health 
of our residents. Fauquier Health has received numerous national accolades over the last few years – this 
recognition of Becca’s leadership is well-deserved.” 

The complete list of honorees can be found here. 

Segal, a native of Virginia, joined Fauquier Health in late 2022 after more than a decade of hospital 
leadership experience around the country. “Being a community hospital often means we are caring for our 
neighbors, friends and even family, so it just means more,” said Segal. “Providing the best quality care is the 
single most important thing we do here, and it takes a team who dedicates themselves every day to being the 
best.” 

In addition to being named to this list for two consecutive years, Segal was also named to Becker’s “Rising 
Stars: 60 Healthcare Leaders Under 40” in 2017.
