John Albert Daugherty, 46, a nurse practitioner at the Buena Vista Health Clinic, died Thursday morning, March 4, on his way to work from Salida in a head-on collision with a Colorado Department of Transportation snowplow.
âWe are completely saddened and mourning our co-worker and friend John Daugherty,â said Thomas White, the medical director at the Buena Vista Health Clinic. âJohn was a compassionate healer who cared deeply for his patients and colleagues.â
Daugherty joined the staff at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center, of which the BV clinic is a part, in November 2014 and âhad an ease in connecting with diverse people and patients on all levels,â said HRRMC spokeswoman Allison Gergley
