Elk Regional Announces Physician Update

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

I am pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with both Scott McKimm, D.O., and Christopher Colosimo, D.O., that will enable them to remain part of our Health System.

In the coming months, Dr. McKimm and Dr. Colosimo will join Larry Maturani, M.D., as full-time Hospitalists at Elk Regional Health Center.

As they transition into the inpatient setting, Dr. McKimm and Dr. Colosimo will be leaving their outpatient medical practices. We are diligently working with a recruitment firm to secure physicians for our Ridgway and Emporium offices.

In each office, our mid-level providers – Tonya Aversa, CRNP, and Susan Baird, CRNP – as well as the office staffs, will be an important part of the transition process. Both mid-level providers will remain in place and will continue to see patients on a daily basis.

There will be no interruption of medical services at either location.  We are committed to finding physicians who will continue the tradition of providing quality healthcare services in the Ridgway and Emporium communities. 

Thank you for your continued support as we have moved through this transition.

Gregory P. Bauer
President and CEO
Elk Regional Health System
