PINEDALE — As Sublette County prepares for the highly anticipated opening of its new hospital on July 1, another exciting milestone is on the horizon. In August, the residents of the Sublette Center skilled nursing facility will transition to their new home — bringing with it a meaningful rebrand. Moving forward, the Sublette Center will be known as Heritage Home.
“The impact of a change in identity became a conversation in the early part of the process through the Joint Planning Committee, who were tasked with exploring what a merge of our organizations might look like,” explained Tonia Hoffman, Sublette County Health board chair. “We worked closely with the Sublette Center Board — Patty Racich, Marilyn Jensen, Ruth Steele, Kerry Majhanovich, Nancy Guio and Kenda Tanner — who served on both boards as a liaison to thoughtfully consider this change. It was very important to us to honor the legacy of the Sublette Center and its rich history, but also to recognize that the unification of the two organizations symbolizes a new day and is deserving of a new identity. We believe ‘Heritage Home’ accomplishes that.”
Construction is already underway on new Heritage Home signage, which will soon be installed along Fremont Lake Road to guide visitors to the facility’s new location.
Dawn Walker, Skilled Nursing Administrator, added, “Our commitment to exceptional care and a warm, welcoming environment remains unchanged. While the name is new, the heart of what makes our skilled nursing facility special remains the same: our incredible residents, staff, and community.”
The transition to Heritage Home represents an exciting new chapter in local skilled nursing care while preserving the values and legacy that have long defined the Sublette Center. Enhancements such as a dedicated memory care wing and a Main Street-style gathering area where residents can connect over coffee will provide valuable additions to the community.
