Lack of Quorum Delays Mason County Hospital Board Election

About 35 people attended the Mason County Hospital Inc annual meeting in Point Pleasant, far short of the 280 needed for a quorum to elect 10 board members. The meeting adjourned with pledges totaling roughly $120,000 of about $300,000 required to match federal Hill Burton funds. Dr. Jack Buxton announced potential borrowing of up to $100,000 cash in the county to unlock $200,000 for the project, with a deed of trust and 4 percent interest over 15 to 20 years, and emphasized the board’s commitment to building the hospital.
