Critical Access Hospital to be called Sublette County Medical Center
by Sublette County Rural Health Care District
January 22, 2018
The Sublette County Rural Health Care District Board of Trustees approved a name for the future critical access hospital (CAH) in Pinedale, Wyoming — Sublette County Medical Center. The new name was the most popular in the voting and shows the intent of the District to create a medical campus with the new hospital, a physicians clinic and future ambulance. The goal of the District with the construction of the hospital is to reduce the financial dependence of the District on tax revenues while improving access to healthcare for the citizens of the county.
"We appreciate the community’s involvement, patience, and support, and we’re excited to move ahead to a hospital as the focal point of county-wide health care." said District Board Chair Scott Scherbel, adding, "Sublette County Medical Center will be a valuable community resource. Our shared goal is to help keep healthcare local, provide jobs, and preserve and improve health care services as we move into the future."
Community meetings to help communicate project progress are being planned; dates and details will soon be announced.
