Our Mission

The Mission of Fairchild Medical Center Foundation

We are committed to assisting Fairchild Medical Center in providing full service, technologically advanced medical care to everyone in our community.

Continuing this mission requires the help and support of many people.

In 2005, the Foundation donated $26,500 to FMC for a Gamma Probe System for the Surgery Department.

The most powerful predictor of survival in women with breast cancer is the status of the axillary lymph nodes. Radioactive tracers indicate the most likely lymph nodes involved with the tumor, thus limiting the extent of axillary lymph node dissection and its attendant possible complications. The addition of this equipment enables us to perform this procedure at Fairchild Medical Center.

In 2006 the Foundation donated $40,000 for a BioZ ICG Diagnostic Imaging Machine.

The ICG test is a completely noninvasive test that can be performed to provide your physician information about your heart’ s ability to deliver blood to the rest of your body, and the amount of fluid in your chest. Because the ICG test is noninvasive, it can be performed anywhere in the hospital, making it a vital piece of equipment for patient care. This is all made possible by the generosity of people just like you.

John Pomeroy, Fairchild Medical Center Foundation Chairman, Ann Kaster, Board Member and Golf Committee Chair present Dwayne Jones, CEO Fairchild Medical Center and Larry Mulloy, Fairchild Medical Center Board Chairman with a check for $40,000 for the purchase of a BioZ ICG Diagnostic Imaging Machine. The Golf Committee raised $22,500 towards the purchase of this very important piece of equipment for Fairchild Medical Center, with the balance coming from the Annual Giving Program.
