The unit served McDowell County with aerosol therapy, oxygen, spirometry, ventilator and home care. In spring 1975 a blood gas unit and outpatient services were added and a four person staff trained for 90 days. Williams, a Pittsburgh native, later moved to Mercer County in 1989 after 33 years of service.
