About
Partnering with our community
for a healthy future
Fairview Lakes Community Health Outreach helps build healthy communities by partnering with local organizations and agencies. Working with our partners, we identify community health needs and then find ways to meet them.

Fairview offers a wide variety of programs and services to the communities we serve. Our goal is to help residents of our communities live healthier lives. Each community is assessed to determine the top health concerns and needs of that community. Then programs and services are designed to meet the specific needs of each community.

Fairview Lakes Community Health Outreach helps build healthy communities by partnering with local organizations and agencies in the planning and delivery of programs and services that respond to unmet needs.

Some of the programs we offer include:
  • Matching at-risk students with caring adult mentors
  • Providing screening and information to prevent suicide
  • Helping high schools train students for health care careers

Communities we serve:

Learning how to better serve our community
Community Health Needs Assessments are detailed reports that shed light on the evolving health needs of the communities we serve and help us meet those needs going forward. It’s a process Fairview has undergone voluntarily every three years since 1995 - such assessments are now required by law under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. If you'd like to see a summary of our findings, here’s a link to our report.
