Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center announced today that Dr. Amy Varble and Dr. Gina Alkes of Mountain Medical Center in Buena Vista will be joining the HRRMC team and relocating to the HRRMC Buena Vista Health Center in late June. Both will become employed by HRRMC.
Dr. Tom White of Mountain Medical Center signed a contract with HRRMC last fall and has been serving in an administrative role as medical director of the Buena Vista Health Center while continuing to see his patients at the Mountain Medical Center office. He will also be relocating full time to the Buena Vista Health Center this summer.
"I expect this transition to be convenient for current Mountain Medical patients," said hospital CEO Bob Morasko. "They may continue to see their same physician once they transition over to the Buena Vista Health Center. Medical records for Mountain Medical patients will automatically be transferred over to the HRRMC clinic unless a patient submits a written request to Mountain Medical Center to send their records elsewhere."
Plans are underway to expand the clinic space at the Buena Vista Health Center to accommodate the addition of the three additional providers.
"All three Mountain Medical physicians will continue to see patients at their Oak Street office until the new office space is ready at our Buena Vista clinic," said Morasko. "We look forward to expanding our services to the community."
