Beginning in late December, the
Wright Clinic will have a new provider—Physician Assistant
Don Tardif. Don has been practicing at the Walk-in Clinic in Gillette since 2018.
He began his career in the
U.S. Air Force, serving as an x-ray technician. He found that he loved working with his
patients and wanted to provide more direct patient care. Don pursued a
path to become a physician assistant and went on to receive a Master of
Physician Assistant Studies from the
University of Nebraska. He has more than 25 years of experience, working in pain management,
orthopedic and urology practices, as well as urgent care. He chose Campbell
County Health because it was a good opportunity to work in a close-knit
community.
“I grew up in a tiny town in Maine—I love living and working
in small towns,” said Don.
While Don has enjoyed practicing at the
Walk-in Clinic, he wanted to get back in family medicine where he can develop relationships
with patients and families, helping them with both their acute and long
term healthcare needs.
A welcome reception for Don is scheduled for Tuesday, December 31 from
3-5 pm at the Wright Clinic, 500 Latigo Dr. in Wright, Wyoming.
