GMC SHARES UPDATE RELATED TO MEDCIAL PROVIDER PRACTICE

Glendive Medical Center (GMC) announced additional information related to the medical practice of Don Hopwood, MD. In December 2011, Dr. Hopwood made the decision to take an early medical retirement. Subsequent to his decision, he had further conversations with his doctors about the treatment of his medical condition and asked to work with GMC to reevaluate his situation in a few months.

In March 2012, Dr. Hopwood advised GMC that he would like to return to his previous medical practice. During the past several weeks, GMC and Dr. Hopwood have been engaged in discussions; however, GMC recently learned that Dr. Hopwood had accepted another position and will be unable to return to his medical practice at Gabert Clinic.

Dr. Hopwood began his practice at GMC and Gabert Clinic in 2007. During that time, he faithfully touched the lives of many patients and also served as Medical Director of Home Health/Hospice. Additionally, he provided care in the Emergency Department, After Hours Clinic, Wibaux Clinic and Extended Care.

Patients of Dr. Hopwood are encouraged to contact Sandra Delamater, Director of Operations at Gabert Clinic, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 406-345-8935 with any questions. To make an appointment, please call 406-345-8901.
