SageWest Health Care Welcomes Emergency Medicine Physician Dr. Jared Thompson
Fremont County, Wyo. (September 22, 2026) – SageWest Health Care is pleased to welcome Jared Thompson, D.O., to its Emergency Medicine team, where he is providing care for patients at SageWest's emergency department in Lander.
"Dr. Thompson's strong clinical training, rural emergency medicine experience and commitment to compassionate patient care make him a tremendous addition to our team," said Amanda Vick, CEO of SageWest Health Care. "We are excited to welcome him and his family to Fremont County."
Dr. Thompson earned his medical degree from the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He brings experience from both high-volume emergency departments and rural healthcare settings.
Dr. Thompson's approach to medicine is grounded in authenticity, calm decision-making, clear communication and treating each patient with the respect he would want for his own family. He values honest conversations, evidence-based care and building trust with patients and families during life's most challenging moments.
"Every patient deserves the same respect, attention and care I would want for my own family," said Dr. Thompson. "I believe trust, communication and compassion are just as important as clinical expertise when caring for people during an emergency."
Outside of medicine, Dr. Thompson enjoys spending time with his wife and children, rock climbing, hiking and the outdoors. He also has a lifelong passion for music and looks forward to becoming involved in Lander’s music community. To learn more about SageWest Health Care and its providers, visit SageWestHealthCare.com.
