The Shelton General Hospital
Association recently made
available to Mason General
Hospital $35,000 to cover cost of
equipment recently installed in
the Intensive Coronary Care Unit.
This Unit has already served more
than 65 patients, most of them
residents of Mason County. It
would not have been possible to
establish a special unit, at this
time, without the support of this
sizeable contribution from the
Shelton General Hospital
Association, according to Laurel
Nelson, Administrator of Mason
General.
The Board of Directors of the
Association were able to make the
grant in view of the pending sale
of the old Shelton General
Hospital property. This is in
keeping with the objectives of the
Board in that such fundsare used
to help with hospital and medical
services in Shelton and Mason
County.
This latest direct contribution
for the purchase of highly
specialized and modern
equipment is the largest single
allocation made by the Shelton
General Hospital Association.
Mason General Hospital has
been the beneficiary of other
major contributions from the
Association. These have included
landscaping to the grounds
around the new hospital, and
purchase of illuminated signs
along Thirteenth Street marking
the visitor and emergency
entrances to the hospital.

Hospital started operation as

General Hospital. Also, granted to
the new hospital at that time was
the cash-in-bank amounting to
$15,000.
Long before Mason General
Hospital received its first patients
the Shelton General Hospital
Association actively assisted with
financial support. During the
planning period of the soon-to-be
Public Hospital all organizational
costs were underwritten by the
Shelton General Hospital. This
direct contribution exceeded
$15,000 which was spent between
1964 and 1968. This assistance
acted as a spring-board in the
total planning and preparation for
Mason General Hospital.
The community has benefited
substantially by these gifts in that
the hospital charges have been less
than they would have been

Mason General Hospital is still less
than the cost of care of most
hospitals in the surrounding area,
Nelson said.
Although sometimes referred
to as the "Old" Shelton General
Hospital Association its Board of
Directors has kept attuned to the
continuing need for improved

The Shelton General
Hospital Association has
conducted for many years, and
places great emphasis on, a
recruiting program for physicians.
The Board recognizes a specific
need for several more doctors
serving Shelton and Mason
County, and efforts along this line
will continue into the future.
Another important area being
fully explored by the Shelton
General Hospital Association are
scholarships and the continuing
education of health care
personnel. The Board is interested
in embarking upon a program that
would permit hospital personnel
to attend clinical and professional
seminars when they need to
"up-date" their skills in providing
better care to the community.
The Board of Directors of the
Shelton General Hospital
Association consist of
representatives from the Granges,
the Parent-Teachers Associations,

the Chamber of Commerce,
Labor, Veterans groups, the
Hospital Auxiliary, the Mayor of
Shelton, the Chairman of the
