JACKSON, Wyo. — Effective Jan. 5, 2026, Gros Ventre OB/GYN and St. John’s Health OB/GYN will begin operating out of separate clinic spaces. The change comes as a result of a two-year-long effort by St. John’s Health (SJH) to recruit two new physicians to provide women’s health services in Jackson and western Wyoming.
The new providers for SJH OB/GYN — Dr. Tim Bussert and Dr. Natalie Meadows Eggleston — will see patients in SJH Professional Office Building (POB) in Suite 108. Nurse midwife Joanna Sheets will also see patients in Suite 108. SJH Internal Medicine – Jackson clinic will move to Suite 108 as well.
Providers Dr. Maura Lofaro and Dr. Shannon Roberts of Gros Ventre OB/GYN will see patients in Suite 201 of the SJH POB.
For currently pregnant OB/GYN patients, St. John’s Health shares important information:
- Patients with due dates prior to January 1 can keep scheduled appointments under their integrated practice model.
- Patients with due dates January 1 or later can keep scheduled appointments through January 1 and SJH support staff will help schedule remaining pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care with the patient’s selection of Gros Ventre OB/GYN or SJH OB/GYN.
- Dr. Roberts, Dr. Lofaro, Dr. Bussert and Dr. Meadows Eggleston will continue a collaborative night and weekend call schedule.
This comes as a welcome announcement to many, as access to women’s health and professional maternity care has been stretched thin in recent years. Since 2022, four Wyoming hospitals have closed labor and delivery wards. Here in Jackson, Women’s Health and Family closed their doors in December 2023, leaving women with fewer options for pre and postnatal care.
All new and existing gynecology patients will be able to schedule with their provider of choice. Both Gros Ventre OB/GYN and SJH OB/GYN are currently accepting new patients.
