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.
