MEADE In order to support the community, nurse practitioner Merrill Hoover, Dr. Christine Donnelly and nurse practitioner James Green are opening their own clinic in the Meade community. This comes after their resignations from Artesian Valley Health System in late September.
The clinic, Trusted Primary Care, is owned and operated by Hoover and her husband, and Green, with Donnelly planning to join the staff as the supervising physician.
The three healthcare providers’ resignation was shown in a Facebook video amidst allegations of corruption surrounding Artesian CEO Tara Ramlochan.
Ramlochan denied the allegations, which include mistreatment of employees, disregard to hospital chain-of-command such as illegally ordering medications and misappropriation of funds such as Medicare fraud.

When Louis Howard, owner of Daylight Donuts at 912 W. Wyatt Blvd., went to check on his store about 8:45 p.m. Monday, he discovered that one of the windows had been shattered.
While checking the cameras in the store, Howard found he had just missed the vandal by almost three minutes.
Police surveyed the damage to look for evidence.
“The police came and checked the camera, identified the vehicle, and they said they’d be driving around looking for stuff,” said Michelle Howard, wife of Louis Howard and co-owner of Daylight Donuts. “Within the hour they called and said they were able to find the person and it was a juvenile.”
