Groundbreaking date set for Hulett Clinic

The Crook County Hospital Foundation is planning a groundbreaking ceremony for the new clinic to be built in Hulett. According to Judy Hutchinson, foundation chairman, the event will take place on June 13, directly after the Hulett Rodeo Parade.

The groundbreaking is expected to last around 20 minutes, Hutchinson said.

Regarding the clinic project itself, she reported that the foundation is now “down to the nitty gritty” with the building design. Though still waiting to hear whether funding will come available through the CARES Act money allocated to Wyoming, Hutchinson said the foundation feels things are going well.

“This is where our goal has been and what we’ve been busy doing. It looks like we might be getting there,” she said.

The project will soon reach the point where the foundation will involve hospital staff to gather input as to what equipment and services the clinic will need, Hutchinson said.
