The Project of a Lifetime: RiverPeak Health (Ep. 14)
What does the NFL, a dental practice, trucking company, railroad company, and building a hospital from the ground up all have in common? Corte McGuffey. He played quarterback in two NCAA Division II National Championships, had a brief career in the NFL and XFL, became a Dentist, and eventually moved back to Riverton, WY. There, he ran a trucking company (BTI) and a short line railroad company (Wyoming Railroad) where it occurred to him that no babies had been born there in nearly 10 years. With a glaring need for better hospital services, Corte’s “project of a lifetime” was born. Now, 8 years later, RiverPeak Health, a non-profit hospital and clinic will start seeing patients on January 12th, 2027. In this episode, hear the remarkable story of how a community came together to restore Riverton's healthcare.
