Gene Dellea

Gene Dellea is a Berkshire treasure. His mark on healthcare in the Berkshires took root in 1962 when he joined the team at Hillcrest Hospital, and he has been influential in making our healthcare system a model for the Commonwealth ever since. He and his dear friend Senator Ted Kennedy were instrumental in establishing Fairview as a “critical access hospital,” one of only three in the Commonwealth. Fueled by his love for the people of the Berkshires, for decades he has been serving on boards such as UNICO, Berkshire Community College (BCC) Foundation, Berkshire United Way, and Hillcrest Education Center, among others. He is also the longest-serving town moderator in the history of Massachusetts! In his spare time, he shares his love of travel and history by leading groups from the Berkshires on curated tours to Italy and Europe several times a year.
