Why is Your Support Needed?
Special events such as the annual golf tournament and Fantasy Forest not only raise funds for MGHF, but build community support for Mason General Hospital through their participants and volunteers. Funds have been raised by Mason General Hospital Foundation to go toward the purchase of medical equipment. With these funds the Foundation has purchased items such as:
- CMAX Surgical Table
- EKG Machine
- Mammogram Machine
- Defibrillator
- Patient Monitor Machine
- Total Care Patient Beds
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 Foundation more and more important.
