Dear Patient,
Greetings from Partnership Health Center!
I want to inform you of an important and difficult decision regarding my role at Partnership Health Center. Starting January 1, 2025, I will no longer be providing direct care to patients. This will allow me to focus exclusively on my important administrative and leadership responsibilities as Chief Medical Officer.
Please know that this decision was not made lightly. Providing primary care to my patients has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. However, balancing these responsibilities with my increasing administrative duties has become unsustainable. To ensure that you continue to receive the highest level of care, I believe this change is the best path forward.
Finding the right healthcare provider is a deeply personal choice, and I am committed to supporting you through this transition. You may select a new primary care provider here on the Providers page.
If you would like assistance selecting a provider who aligns with your medical needs and preferences, I am available to discuss options with you.
Please see below for answers to some commonly asked questions regarding this transition. For further questions, please contact us at (406) 258-4789.
Thank you for the privilege of being part of your healthcare journey. It has been an honor to serve as your primary care provider, and I look forward to continuing to support the PHC community and mission in this new capacity.
I wish you all the very best.
Sincerely,
James Quirk, MD, FAAFP, CMO
