Exciting news for local families! đź’™
Thanks to a $65,267.61 grant from the Fairmont Community Hospital (FCH) Foundation, UHD–Fairmont has added a new OB ultrasound and a transcutaneous bilirubin meter—both now in use at the Fairmont Clinic.
With deliveries increasing from 112 in 2024 to 173 in 2025, the need for high-quality prenatal care close to home continues to grow. The new ultrasound, dedicated specifically to OB care, allows providers to capture clearer images and make more informed decisions, supporting healthier pregnancies and better outcomes.
The addition of the non-invasive bilirubin device also improves newborn care by allowing for quick, comfortable jaundice screening—no heel stick required.
This investment is already making a meaningful difference for families in our community, ensuring care stays local, accessible, and patient-centered.
FCH Foundation: continuing to support and enhance healthcare right here at home.
