The Fairfield Memorial Hospital Foundation is offering community members an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at the hospital through the purchase of personalized commemorative bricks.

The Foundation has announced a new engraved brick program, allowing individuals, families, businesses, and hospital supporters to purchase a permanent tribute that will become part of the Fairfield Memorial Hospital grounds.

Bricks are available for $500 each and can be personalized to honor loved ones, recognize healthcare workers, celebrate families or businesses, or memorialize someone special.

Each brick can feature up to three lines of engraved text, with a maximum of 16 characters per line, including spaces.
Foundation Director Nathan Gentz said the program provides a meaningful way for residents to establish a lasting connection with the hospital while supporting the Foundation’s mission.

“We wanted to create an opportunity for people to have a lasting connection to Fairfield Memorial Hospital while also supporting the important work of the Foundation,” Gentz said. “Whether you are honoring someone who made a difference in your life, recognizing a healthcare hero, celebrating your family or business, or remembering someone special, these bricks provide a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy in our community.”

The engraved bricks will become a permanent part of the hospital grounds, creating a tribute that can be appreciated by future generations.

Proceeds from the commemorative brick program will support the Fairfield Memorial Hospital Foundation and its ongoing efforts to benefit the hospital and its patients.
