Purpose

• CCMF (Community Concerns for the Medically Fragile) is a local parent-driven community group, striving to meet the needs of medically fragile children/young adults and their families.  We offer financial and emotional support to these families. The home that we support programs at,  "Standing Oaks" is a life-long home for the residents who live there.  Respite care for parental relief is available to the medically fragile children/young adults of Lambton County. **(respite care is closed and has been since COVID-19 hit)
