Fairchild Medical Center’s new Senior Life Solutions program is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of individuals typically 65 and older experiencing depression or anxiety related to life changes that are often associated with aging. This service fits well into Fairchild’s mission to provide healthcare services of exceptional service to all who need us.

Fairchild Medical Center Celebrates Our Volunteers Who Make Local Access to Heathcare a Reality for Our Community

Fairchild Medical Center is privileged to have numerous volunteers who support the hospital, including the Fairchild Medical Center Auxiliary as well as the Hospital and Foundation’s Board of Directors. 

In the healthcare sector, volunteers make significant contributions by supporting both the institution and the community through various programs and services. Fairchild Medical Center values the precious time that volunteers dedicate to our organization and is grateful for the many hours of service they provide. 

In 2024, the Auxiliary’s 30 members donated 11,754 hours. They work as Front Desk Greeters, ensuring visitors receive a warm welcome and efficient assistance, enhancing patient and family experiences. They also manage the Hospital’s Gift Shop, known for its variety of snacks, gifts, and clothing, which has received many compliments. The Auxiliary runs the Transportation program, providing 1,276 rides to patients for appointments. Their fundraising efforts raised $35,000 for essential medical equipment. These initiatives improve patient care and boost community engagement. 

The Hospital’s Board of Directors is comprised of fifteen members, all of whom are community leaders that are committed to ensuring our community has local access to healthcare.  The Board is tasked with overseeing and providing guidance to the hospital to ensure it operates efficiently, complies with legal standards, and serves the best interests of our community. Their responsibilities include approving budgets and making strategic decisions.   

The Foundation’s Board of Directors consists of fifteen members. All of the members are involved in organizing and helping with the Foundation events such as the Health Kids Fair and Share the Magic Christmas Festival. The members are also responsible for securing funds through personal contributions and involvement in fund development efforts to support the hospital.  

Thank you to all our Volunteers for their greatest gift, their time!
