Health clinic for coal mine workers to open in September
Nearly four months after it was first announced, a local health clinic planned by a coalition of energy companies has started to take shape.
The clinic will be called the Coalition Family Health Center, and is now set to open in September. Of its anticipated 15 positions, four have been filled: the practice administrator, who will help manage day-to-day operations and recruit other employees; the center’s medical director; its pharmacy manager; and a nurse practitioner. The coalition would not disclose the names of any of its hires, but said in a statement that the practice administrator and nurse practitioner were both Gillette residents.
Rio Tinto Energy America, Powder River Coal Co. and Foundation Coal West joined forces in February as the Wyoming Quality Health Coalition LLC. Bringing aboard CHD Meridian, a corporate health care management company, the group announced plans to open a clinic that would provide care to 5,200 energy workers, retirees and dependents. The initial start date was set for July.
