Fairview Park Hospital

Join us in recognizing our September Employee of the Month, Maejour Higdon! Maejour recently received a promotion in his department, Environmental Services. He has been at Fairview Park Hospital for almost two years, and, wow, has he made an impact! Here’s what our staff are saying about him: - It does not matter where I encounter Maejour in the hospital, I always know he is going to approach me, ask me how I'm doing, and check in on my day. He is so kind and thoughtful! - Maejour always has a smile on his face, and I always see him positively interacting with other employees. I've always thought that he glows no matter where he is or the time of day. - He is always willing to pose for employee pictures or stand in on employee videos for marketing purposes when we need someone for events. Helpful and so kind! - Every time I see him, my day is immediately improved. He takes the time to check in on staff walking through the halls, and he would give the shirt off his back for anyone! Maejour – thank you for the personality and thoughtfulness you bring to the Fairview Park table. You are the embodiment of a great co-worker and even greater friend!

HURRICANE HELENE COMMUNITY UPDATE As our community continues to recover from Hurricane Helene, Fairview Park Hospital is equipped to handle any emergent or urgent needs that arise. Our ER and facility are open to continue to provide high level care, around the clock. This morning, we closed our outpatient centers to focus on patients coming into our ER and the ones in our facility, and we appreciate your understanding to prioritize care. Here’s what we want you to know: - We continue to remain open and are receiving patients through our ER. - Our visitation policy has returned to normal. - Because of debris and flooding around the campus, the pond and walking track are closed to the public. This is to ensure the safety of our community. As we navigate this difficult time together, our staff remain committed to providing compassionate care to your families. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. We will get through this together.
