Dear Patient:

I am writing this letter to inform you of my retirement from Castro County Health District effective May 31, 2023. It has been a pleasure serving our community over the past 38 years. Thank you for entrusting me with your medical care.

My last day to see patients at the Medical Center of Dimmitt will be May 24, 2023. Therefore, it is important that you start the process of finding another primary care provider for your medical care. I highly recommend any of the other providers in the clinic. However, if you choose to go elsewhere, we will be pleased to send your new provider a copy of your medical records. You may also contact the state medical society for the names of physicians who are accepting new patients.

Thank you. My wife and I will miss Dimmitt, and I will miss the day-to-day interaction with my patients and their families.

Sincerely,

Gary R. Hardee M.D.
