GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — Campbell County's need for medical internists is getting worse.
Two internists this week notified Campbell County Memorial Hospital that they will be leaving this fall.
Campbell County Health CEO Andy Fitzgerald says the two doctors are moving to Laramie to practice at Ivinson Memorial Hospital.
The departures come as the hospital has already identified a need to recruit one full-time internist.
Fitzgerald tells the Gillette News Record (http://bit.ly/1M9bbM0 ) that there's no minimizing the loss.
But he says the hospital is in a better position to offer specialized care in many areas than in the past.
In addition, Campbell County Health also has been increasing efforts recently to recruit family medicine doctors.
