Good Neighbors at Fairview Haven

Fairview Haven has a long legacy of caring in our neighboring communities. Many who live here are active community members and volunteers. We believe part of our mission statement "encouraging growth" includes creating opportunities to share with others.
"Life abounds" when we can give to one another and to our community. Fairview Haven encourages volunteerism by supporting team members and residents in their personal efforts, as well as seeking out connections and opportunities for giving. 
​Fairview Haven gives incentives to team members for specific events.
The Fairview Haven Good Neighbors committee was formed to help with these efforts. Please contact Rick Plattner, Anna McKeon, Trish Steidinger, Crystal Miller, Barb Hall or Sally Fehr with any community giving ideas or input.

Supporting Local Healthcare
