AVEM is a God-send to the Fairfax community. They took a hospital, days from closing, to an innovative and thriving facility through upgrading equipment, remodeling, and the addition of a new bariatric section that is state-of-the-art and brings patients from all over Oklahoma. AVEM has also contributed to the school system, sports and recreation and has provided food bank assistance to our community. The future of Fairfax is brighter due to the existence of AVEM.

RICHARD ROGALSKI, PE

CITY MANAGER
ANADARKO,OK

“Like most of rural Oklahoma, the City of Anadarko struggles with a number of community needs that are unbudgeted and therefore, generally remain continually unmet. AVEM has consistently shown themselves to be the kind of community partner that steps up to help us meet those needs. Just this past year AVEM has provided sizable grants for the purchase of a new ambulance and to establish our CFO Endowment Fund; supported our Kids, Kites and Frights, Shop with a Cop, and other events; and provided funding for schools programs and for our local food pantry. Being present within our community, AVEM routinely helps with community-based programs and other initiatives too numerous to mention. We have big plans for the City of Anadarko, but it is only with the support and hard work of community partners, like AVEM, that we will achieve them.”
