Community Hospital-Fairfax in Fairfax, Missouri, welcomed its first group of first graders Wednesday, April 29, 2026, for the hospital’s annual Mary Combs Memorial Pediatric Orientation. This small but mighty group from Fairfax Elementary was excited to learn about the hospital, healthcare careers, and what it’s like being a patient at CH-F. Pictured touring one of the hospital’s patient rooms are, from left to right, Memo Chavez, Harper Smith, Wesley Long, and Aubree Simmons.
