Western Healthcare, a leading national provider of physician staffing services, announced a new partnership with Mt. Grant General Hospital in Hawthorne. Effective November 1, 2023, Western Healthcare will be staffing Mt. Grant’s Emergency Department with an all physician group, allowing for 24/7 coverage and patient-focused care to the Hawthorne community.

“We are excited to be partnering with Western Healthcare to give our patients and Mineral County the best possible healthcare they deserve. We’re particularly excited to bring on more physicians to serve our residents, as our rural facility has had mainly advanced practice providers and one remote physician to cover the entire population,” said Denise Ferguson, CEO and Administrator, at Mt. Grant General Hospital. “It’s refreshing to find a staffing company that cares about our patients as much as we do, especially with the next ER being one hour away.”

Grant shares the same mindset and chose us to be the catalyst of change for its facility and citizens.”

Western will be working closely with MGGH’s Chief Medical Director, Sharon Ruch, MD, to establish and maintain hospital goals according to its mission.
