MGH open house, dedication scheduled
The public is invited to
the dedication ceremony
and open house for Mason
General Hospital & Fam-
ily of Clinics' new surgery
wing at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 1
at the hospital's south en-
trance.
Lt. Gov. Brad Owen will
be the keynote speaker. A
musical performance by
Anna's Bay Center of Mu-
sic will be a part of the
event along with tours of
the new facility and re-
freshments. The newly con-
structed, 20,000-square-
foot surgery wing, which
comprises Phase 1 of a
two-phase project, accom-
modates new technologies
and replaces the existing
surgery suites. The cam-
pus renewal and construc-
tion project began in April
2012 with the total cost of
the project set at $33 mil-
lion.
Areas included in the
new surgery wing are out-
patient services, a post an-
esthesia care unit, three
operating rooms, two en-
doscopy rooms, a central
sterilization area for the
surgery department, a lab
draw station and surgery
support space. In addition,
upgrades were made to the
nurses' stations and inpa-
tient rooms in the medi-
cal/surgical/pediatrics unit
and the birth center. To fa-
cilitate a healthy environ-
ment, a mile-long walking
path was added to the cam-
pus grounds.
"This is an exciting time
for our community. With
the extremely favorable
economic climate for con-
struction, we have an ex-
traordinary opportunity to
make these high-priority
improvements without the
need for a voter-approved
bond. These improvements
will give us the flexibility
to respond to future chang-
es in the delivery of local
healthcare and assure our
continued ability to pro-
vide high-quality servic-
es. More importantly, hos-
pital services have changed
dramatically in the past
quarter of a century, and
MGH & FC is commit-
ted to investing in the fu-
ture of quality healthcare
right here, close to home m
our community," hospital
board commissmner Scott
Hilburn said.
"This project is a symbol
of an accomplishment that
positions us to continue to
serve our community now.
and in the future. The new
surgical wing is necessary
to provide access to basic
healthcare needs locally
in our community, and
has been instrumental in
recruiting two new ortho-
pedic surgeons and a gen-
eral surgeon. We are very
excited about this transfor-
mative phase in our Hos-
pital and the community's
history," CEO Bob Appel
said.
With Phase 1 complet-
ed, Phase 2 begins imme-
diately, by expanding the
diagnostic imaging depart-
ment with the addition of
an open MRI unit. and the
expansion and moderniza-
tion of the Emergency De-
partment.
"As a hospital district
we are very proud of our
services, equipment, fa-
cilities, and our current
Campus Renewal and Con-
struction Project," Hilburn
said. "What sets MGH &
FC apart from other hospi-
tals - larger and smaller
-- is the care provided by
our dedicated physicians
and staff members. MGH
& FC regularly receives
notes of appreciation from
patients and their fami-
lies about the high level of
quality care they received."
To date, the project is
ahead of schedule and on
budget thanks to the ef-
forts of Hoffman Construc-
tion Company, Scherer As-
sociates, OAC Services and
MGH & FC physicians and
staff.
"Living well' class offered at hospital
Mason General Hospital & Family of Clin-
ics is offering another Living Well With Dia-
betes two-day class on Sept. 18 and 19 from
12:30-4:30 p.m. in the Skokomish and Wash-
ington rooms at the hospital.
Studies show that those with diabetes
can enjoy normal, healthy living by learn-
ing self-management of the condition, with
professional support. MGH & FC has a team
of healthcare providers who teach the class,
covering the diagnosis and treatment of dia-
betes: its medications, proper meal planning,
exercise, prevention and treatment of compli-
cations, stress management, living well and
the use of support people and a healthcare
team. Effective self-management can be es-
sential in preventing the advancement of dia-
betes and its serious complications.
The class is also open to family members/
mgnificant others who can benefit and offer
great support to those with diabetes partici-
pating in the class. Due to limited space, ad-
vanced registration for the class is required
by calling Sue Barwick, R.N., certified diabe-
tes educator at 426-1611, ext. 3301 (from A1-
lyn 275-8614, ext. 3301). Diabetes education

plans.
