Clinic operator discusses lease options
Last month, Saratoga Mayor John Zeiger brought Memorial Hospital of Carbon County to a town council meeting to discuss what medical services they could offer the Platte Valley if the town terminated the lease for the clinic with the current operator, Health Management Services.
Last night, HMS appeared before the Healthcare Sustainability Project and discussed options for renegotiation with the town while they continue exploring whether a critical access hospital is feasible in the valley.

Riverside accidental shooting update
About a year ago two Riverside men were arrested and charged with two counts each of involuntary attempted manslaughter after target shooting outside a residential area.
