Mr. Dammeyer, CEO of Memorial Hospital of Converse County, oversees a 25-bed critical access hospital, multiple rural health clinics, and the recently acquired 24-bed Summit Medical Center in Casper. Despite challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Dammeyer led the hospital through with no layoffs and maintained a positive profit margin. He spearheaded the acquisition of Summit Medical Center in 2022, a controversial move aimed at securing Memorial Hospital’s independence while expanding services for communities in eastern Wyoming. Mr. Dammeyer is committed to improving staff wellbeing, personally redirecting part of his salary to raise the hospital’s minimum wage to $16 per hour and harboring plans to increase it to $17 in 2025. He prioritizes both the hospital’s strategic growth and the financial stability of its employees.
