Beaver Island Rural Health Center loses a nurse practitioner and adds physician coverage, 2017

1. Beaver Island Rural Health Center, “BIRHC provider update,” Beaver Island Forum, December 6–8, 2017.
   BIRHC announced the loss of one nurse practitioner and said Dr. Martin would provide regular primary-care hours and some night call while the center searched for a new nurse practitioner. This is a direct institutional notice; it does not identify the departing provider, establish the duration of the interim arrangement, or document the later recruitment outcome.

2. Pam Moxham and forum contributors, “Timing is everything” and “Nurse practitioner,” Beaver Island Forum, December 8, 2017.
   Residents questioned when the physician coverage decision was made, whether the BIRHC Board was involved, how recruitment had been attempted, and whether scheduling flexibility differed between providers. The thread also contains an unconfirmed report that a dentist had been selected. These are resident questions and hearsay, not minutes, board answers, employment records, or confirmation of a dentist appointment.

   A short follow-up asked why the departing nurse practitioner was not identified and referred readers back to the questions in the related thread. It adds evidence of community concern, not an independently verified reason for the departure.
