Fair is Mason General's
Employee of the Month
Tabatha Fair is the Employee of the Month fbr March at Mason
General Hospital.
Fair is a diagnostic-imaging sonographer who has been em-
ployed at Mason General since October
2005. She received training in diagnostic
imaging at Tacoma Community College
and worked in Olympia for a few months
before taking a job in Shelton.
"I love working here," she said. "Ev-
eryone is so nice and supportive and we
have the time to give our patients one-
on-one attention. In the larger hospitals
it is so busy and rushed, it is hard to give
the patients the time they need."
She does vascular ultrasound, which
means most of her patients are elderly.
"I really like being able to talk with them
and help," Fair said. "I love taking the
time to explain everything. They have so
many concerns and questions."
Born in Oregon and raised in Ven-
ezuela, she moved back to the Pacific
Northwest after marrying her husband,
Dave, a respiratory therapist. The couple ii:
enjoys road trips and spends many week- ,>.
ends traveling to see friends and family. Tabatha Fair

of arts degree in health-care administration, with plans to eventu-
ally get a master's degree.
