County to Hire Lawyer For Partnership Issues

The Laramie County Commission has decided to hire an attorney to advise them on any legal issues pertaining to a proposed partnership between Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, according to Laramie County Commission Chair Gay Woodhouse. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center on Wednesday agreed to reimburse the county up to $100, 000 for the cost of hiring the attorney. Woodhouse says the county will hire Monty Dube of Chicago to advise them on any legal questions that may arise. She says she doesn't think it will cost the entire $100, 000 for his services. The two hospital's recently agreed to explore a partnership under the working title of "Wyoming Solutions".
