WELLINGTON — There’s only one medical clinic in this small north Colorado town, but residents fear its days are numbered if they can’t find a new doctor.
Wellington Medical Center, owned by Cheyenne Regional Medical Center in Cheyenne, will see its last patient Friday.
The clinic’s patient load is too little to justify keeping it open, said Kathy Baker, public relations manager for CRMC. It sees 25 to 35 patients a day between its doctor and nurse practitioner, said Jessica Jacques, the patient-account representative at the Wellington clinic. Fewer than 5,000 people live in Wellington.
