The First People of South Puget Sound relied on what they found in nature, and on spirits, for healing. The pioneers who came to the area had folk remedies, hope and compassion; the first doctors, a little more formal training, a few instruments, and a concern for the health and well-being of others. The people at the helms of the logging and lumber companies cared enough to establish a hospital; the people of Mason County, when a new facility was needed, cared enough to form a hospital district and tax themselves to build it. As innovation followed innovation, as restructuring and reorganization came along, what continued was always care for the health and well-being of the community. This is the story of Mason County's hospital and healthcare, and the men and woman who have made it what it is today.
