Thanks for working here this week: Kelly Peters, Clinical Applications Analyst for Behavioral Health Services

Campbell County Health is proud of its employees, and we want the CCH family and the Campbell County community to know about the good work that they do for this organization.

Allow us to introduce Kelly Peters, a Clinical Applications Analyst for Behavioral Health Services at Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette, Wyoming. Kelly has worked for CCH for nine years, after spending 21 years in law enforcement and corrections.

Kelly was inspired to work in health care because he wanted a change. “I was looking for a change but one which allowed me to continue to work with a familiar population. The opportunity came up to join BHS, which also allowed me to work alongside professionals who I had already been working with in the criminal justice system. It was a good fit,” he says.

When asked who his healthcare heroes are, he lists several. “Several members of my family are in healthcare and all are wonderful caregivers. My mother-in-law, who is now retired, and two sisters-in-law are nurses—and, of course, I work every day beside healthcare workers who I am proud to know who also care for me and my own family in this community. I am proud of the healthcare and professionals here. All are heroes!” he says.

When Kelly isn’t working, he enjoys grilling and cooking, spending time with family, riding motorcycles, watching hockey and football games, and anything Stevie Ray Vaughn.

We asked Kelly what he likes most about working for CCH, and what excellence every day means to him.

Check out his response:

“I enjoy my co-workers and appreciate the opportunity I had to work with others who have since retired or moved on. All have helped me acquire the knowledge I lacked, and assisted me in maximizing and using the skills and experiences I already had. I am grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to learn a new career later in life.

Keeping these words in mind allows us, as employees of CCH, to reset and refocus after those moments of unexpected challenge that we all experience. Excellence is a choice we can all make, not just every day but in every moment, or with every person. We are human but by allowing myself to reset, I hope I am able to exemplify this standard.”

We appreciate you, Kelly, and are proud to have you on our team.
