Message from the CEO:

Community Hospital's mission, To be the healthcare provider of choice for the communities we serve explains what our hospital is about. We strive to work with the resources available to identify and provide services that our communities desire. This booklet of information is being provided to show what we currently offer at Community Hospital. We continually look for ways to better serve our communities by improving our current services or offering new services, if feasible.

Fairfax Community Hospital opened on November 7th, 1949 and was renamed Community Hospital Association in 1975. Our 50th anniversary celebration kicked off a new era of providing care to our communities. We received the designation of being a Critical Access Hospital in 2000. This designation comes from a program that Medicare put into place to help small rural hospitals continue to be able to provide care in rural communities. Although the public notices very little change with the Critical Access status, Community Hospital receives better payment from Medicare. This allows us to stay competitive with our employee needs and purchase up-to-date technology.

We welcome your ideas on how we can do a better job in providing services, as well as your thoughts about new services you would like to see at Community Hospital. Community Hospital appreciates your continued support and use of the services we provide.
