Dillon, Montana, March 14, 2024 – Barrett Hospital & HealthCare is thrilled to
announce a new partnership with Bridger Orthopedic, Southwest Montana’s most
comprehensive and renowned orthopedic practice, based in Bozeman. This collaborative
effort brings an additional skilled orthopedic surgeon to live and work in Dillon.
The partnership between Barrett Hospital & HealthCare and Bridger Orthopedic signifies
a substantial milestone in improving access to specialized orthopedic services for
residents of Dillon and the surrounding regions.
The addition of a highly skilled and experienced orthopedic surgeon to serve Dillon and
the surrounding regions enables Barrett Hospital & HealthCare to continue to
demonstrate its commitment to meet the diverse healthcare needs of the community.
This strategic alliance ensures that patients will have access to more orthopedic
treatments, including joint replacements, sports medicine care, fracture care, and
additional highly specialized orthopedic treatments.
"Bridger Orthopedic is a leader in orthopedic services in Southwest Montana. We are
excited to begin our partnership with them and bring even more specialized care to our
community," said Taylor Rose, Chief Executive Officer at Barrett Hospital & HealthCare.
"By bringing an additional high quality orthopedic surgeon to Dillon, we can continue to
build our team providing first-class care to our community members, right here in their
hometown. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to prioritize our
patients' needs, reduce travel, and enhance their healthcare experience."
After a national search, Barrett Hospital & HealthCare and Bridger Orthopedic have
selected Dr. Gregg W. Schellack, DO, a well-respected orthopedic surgeon, and a
specialist in the field, to serve in this role. Dr. Schellack will be joining the orthopedic
team, stepping in as Dr. Dan Downey, MD, a revered member of Barrett Hospital &
HealthCare’s surgical staff, enters a well-deserved retirement. Dr. Schellack, a Dillon
native, will be returning to the community and joining Barrett Hospital & HealthCare to
provide skilled care beginning on April 1st 2024. Driven by a passion for delivering
personalized treatment plans, Dr. Schellack will work closely with patients to alleviate
pain, restore mobility, and improve their quality of life.
“I’m excited that I will be returning to my roots in Dillon, a place that instilled in me the
values of community and compassion, to continue my journey in medicine,” said Dr.
Gregg W. Schellack, DO. “Now, with years of specialized training and experience, I am
eager to give back to the town that gave me so much. My goal is to provide
comprehensive, patient-centered orthopedic care by utilizing the latest techniques and
technologies improving the quality of life for my patients. It is a privilege to serve the
community that has shaped me, and to contribute to its well-being as both a healthcare
provider and a proud alumnus of Dillon.”
The partnership between Barrett Hospital & HealthCare and Bridger Orthopedic ensures
that Dillon and the surrounding area residents will have access to more orthopedic
procedures and a range of non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, which
marks a pivotal step in our commitment to expand quality orthopedic care in the Dillon
and the surrounding communities,” said Michael Johns, Chief Executive Officer at Bridger
Orthopedic.
“This collaboration is a testament to our shared goal of ensuring that the
highest standards of orthopedic treatment are accessible to all, regardless of their
geographical location. We believe that everyone deserves the best possible care close to
home, and we are proud to be part of a team that is making this a reality for those living
