Dr. White has been an integral part of our community here in Grand Junction, CO, both as a dedicated colleague and as a compassionate healthcare provider. As someone who has worked alongside him and has also entrusted him with my own healthcare needs, I can attest to his exceptional skills and unfailing dedication. He has not only been my co-worker but also the doctor I've chosen to deliver my babies and care for me during my pregnancies — a testament to the immense trust and confidence I have in him.

Currently, Dr. White is facing an uncertain future at Intermountain Health due to an unresolved request for a .5 FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) status. Without approval of this request, or at the very least offering him the PRN position, our community risks losing a physician who is deeply valued by both his colleagues and his patients. It's more than just retaining a professional; it's about keeping a trusted friend and healer in our midst.

Throughout his tenure, Dr. White has continually demonstrated a passion for medicine and a commitment to his patients that is rare and commendable. His presence provides a level of healthcare that significantly boosts the well-being and morale of those he serves. This is especially crucial in a time when access to reliable, empathetic medical care is paramount.

We urge Intermountain Health to consider not just the figures and statistics, but the real-life impact of their decision. Approving Dr. White’s request for .5 FTE is crucial for him to continue offering his invaluable services and for our community to maintain the high standard of care we rely on.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a cause that directly affects the health and wellness of your community — a cause that ensures continuity of care from a doctor who has become more like family to many. Let's ensure Dr. White remains a vital part of Grand Junction’s future.
