Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand at the hospital’s lighting ceremony to visit with local youngsters.

Community Hospital-Fairfax is now lit up with blue Christmas lights for the holiday season. A lighting ceremony was held Wednesday night, November 29, 2023, in Fairfax.

Community Hospital-Fairfax (CH-F) invited the public to a Christmas lighting ceremony Wednesday night, November 29, 2023, in Fairfax, Missouri. This holiday season, CH-F is excited to light up the night with over 500 new Christmas lights on the outside of the building and change them from blue to white in a “Blue Without You” campaign. This program is a special way to honor or remember a loved one, to show appreciation to someone who has brightened your life or to acknowledge the work of someone very special.

Each of the building’s lights is numbered and can be named in honor or in memory of a loved one, family, business, co-worker, or anyone special in your life. It allows you to say “thank you” or “I remember.” You can support CH-F by sponsoring a Christmas light for $25 to honor, appreciate, or remember someone who brought light to your life, and they will change that light from blue to white.

A map is now available, allowing you to search for your light(s). Lights will remain named until the week of January 8 when they are turned off for the season. Upon request, the Community Healthcare Foundation will send a letter to notify an individual of your gift. For more information, visit fairfaxmed.com/blue-without-you/.
