History

In the summer of 1950 the administrator of Shelton General Hospital met with seven local women who were interested in organizing an auxiliary to aid the only hospital in the area. Following a luncheon for prospective members, there were 113 ladies willing to participate in fund raising projects.

In 1968 the new Mason General Hospital was dedicated and the Auxiliary was reorganized under the name of Mason General Hospital Auxiliary. The membership continued to grow and over the years, through various money making projects, the Auxiliary has annually donated funds for new hospital equipment.

The Auxiliary supports and staffs the MGH Gift Shop within the hospital with the proceeds going to scholarships to students entering the nursing or other medical professions. The Auxiliary also supports the Life Line Program to help for low income subscribers.

Varied fund raising projects over the years have included -- card parties, concerts, cook books, raffles and bake sales. The ladies have assisted with the Blood Bank draws and help with Fantasy Forest activities.

If you are interested in joining the Mason General Hospital Auxiliary or have questions, please plan on attending the next monthly meeting.
