A committee seeking new doctors for Shelby County needs money for full-scale recruitment efforts so it is planning to incorporate and sell shares of non-profit stock to raise funds.
Plans are not definite, but the committee is thinking of forming the Shelby County Medical Services Corp., a tentative name, according to Sidney optometrist Dr. John Beigel, chairman of the group. If the county is to successfully compete, a corporation is needed to make money available to help new doctors get started, said Dr. Beigel. The new physicians would be expected to later re-pay the corporation, he added.
