We are saddened about the loss of Dr. Nathan Vermedahl in our community, and we understand his death may concern his patients who will need upcoming medication refills. Refills of medications originally prescribed by Dr. Vermedahl at Vital Health can be handled through the High Country Community Rural Health Clinic under the following conditions:
• The patient must bring his or her medication bottles needing to be refilled.
• Daily medications will be refilled for 90 days to allow patients time to establish with a new provider.
• Medications that are taken as needed will be prescribed only for 30 days.
• Any Schedule 2 medications that a nurse practitioner may legally prescribe may be refilled on a case-by-case basis with the approval of the clinic director.
• Some medications absolutely require a physician to prescribe and cannot be done through the clinic.
• Refills will ONLY BE DONE ONE TIME BY THE WALK-IN CLINIC. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We apologize for the need to set such strict parameters.
