The 15th Annual Heart & Lung Run – August 17

FMC Heart & Lung Run

251 people participated in the 2024 Heart & Lung Run and more than $21,000 was raised for the Cardiovascular Fund.

This charitable event supports patient access to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, which plays a vital role in restoring the strength, confidence and abilities of patients facing heart and lung disease.

Thank you for supporting our healing mission!

“We never want patients to have to make a choice between their health and their finances. Their job is to concentrate on getting healthy, not to worry about whether or not they can afford to get healthy.”

– Stephanie Young, FMC Cardio Fitness Supervisor

Supporting Healing and Health Tim's Story

Tim GrahamTim Graham, then 61, will be the first to tell you that he’s no stranger to miracles. He is a cancer survivor and, in November 2018, he became the proud and humbled recipient of the ultimate gift: a new heart.

Months later, he received another life-changing gift – the opportunity to participate in 12 weeks of cardiac rehabilitation, with minimal expense, through the Heart & Lung Fund at Fairfield Medical Center.

“I’m very thankful for this program and the Heart & Lung Fund,” said Tim, who attended cardiac rehabilitation three times a week. “It’s amazing the amount of people FMC helps.”
