Our Mission Statement:

Mason General Hospital Foundation furthers the mission of Public Hospital District No. 1 by enhancing the quality of care enjoyed by patients of Mason County by providing financial support to Mason Health.

How we fulfill our mission:

Since the Foundation began, the volunteer-based Board of Directors, various Chapters and Guilds, and event committees have organized several fundraising events and giving opportunities to support the mission of PHD No. 1 and raise much-needed funds for medical equipment for Mason Health.

Mason General Hospital Foundation through campaigns such as Give Local or Giving Tuesday, special events such as Fantasy Forest, the Quality Care Open Golf Tournament, and Bikers for Babies, and the work of our chapters, the MGHF Auxiliary and the MGHF Centennial Guild, raises funds in support of Mason Health and Public Hospital District No. 1.

As technology in healthcare improves and the population ages, the public places greater demands on hospitals. At the same time, insurance providers, including Medicare and Medicaid, are paying less to hospitals, making the need for support from organizations like the MGH Foundation more and more important.

If you would like to support MGHF by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution right now, simply select the "Donate to Mason General Hospital Foundation" button below, or click here - Donate Now!

• GE Panda Infant Warmer
• 3D Mammography Services - Now in Service!
• High Field Open MRI
• Low Dose CT Scanner
• CMAX Surgical Table
• EKG Machine
• Zoll series Defibrillator

Funds raised not only go toward important medical purchases, but also support the following:

• Mission, Vision and Values of Mason Health
• District's Growth Strategy as well as the Strategic Objectives and Initiatives of Mason Health
• Financial Assistance through our Charity Care Grant
• Mason Health Education & Learning Department
• Medically Related Scholarships
• Mason General Hospital Foundation Charity Care Program (A Greatest Need Grant)
