Houston, MO. – Texas County Memorial Hospital has received a letter of resignation from Dr. Jason Loden, DO, general surgeon and Dr. Teresa Loden, DO, pediatrician, at TCMH. Dr. Lodens, employees of TCMH since 2018, are leaving TCMH for personal and professional reasons.
The Lodens will work at TCMH until June 29.
Chris Strickland, chief executive officer at TCMH, expressed disappointment at the loss of two qualified professionals, but has explained that the door is always open for them to return.
Strickland explained that the Board of Trustees and Administration completely support the Lodens in their decision to do what is the best for their family.
Strickland and the staff at TCMH are already working on a plan to continue to provide general surgery and pediatric services after the Lodens depart. Currently, Dr. Hollis Tidmore, general surgeon from Sikeston, just started his practice at TCMH this month. A search for another full-time general surgeon is underway along with a full-time pediatrician.
