Crowd demands hospital try to keep doctors
The issue of two doctors potentially being forced to leave the community spilled over into a public forum last week when a crowd of more than 40 people packed the meeting room of the Elmore Medical Center Board of Trustees demanding the hospital step in to resolve the matter.
The issue has focused on the inability of the doctor/owners at Trinity Mountain LLC, doctors Karl Olson, Timothy Brininger, Dan Crossley and Wakelee Bledsoe, to reach an agreement with doctors Allan Jeffrey and Scott Baldridge regarding renewal of their contracts with the Trinity group.
Over the last three weeks the letters to the editor page of the Mountain Home News have been filled with letters of support for doctors Jeffrey and Baldridge.
