#72 - Wyatt Chocklett, CEO of TriStar Horizon
In this episode, Tim sits down with Wyatt Chocklett, CEO of TriStar Horizon, to break down what’s really happening with the proposed emergency room coming to Fairview—and clear up the confusion the community has been hearing. What started as rumors online turns into a detailed conversation about how the process actually works, including the state’s approval system, why there are competing applications, and what the timeline could look like moving forward.
Wyatt shares his background in healthcare and explains what it’s like running a hospital, while also diving into the bigger picture—how access to emergency care directly impacts survival rates in situations like heart attacks and strokes, where minutes truly matter. The conversation highlights why Fairview has needed this for years and what this new facility could change for the community.
They also cover what a freestanding ER actually is (and isn’t), what services will be available, where it would be located, how it could affect traffic, job opportunities, and what happens next as the state reviews both proposals.
At the end of the day, the message is simple: no matter which system gets approved, Fairview finally wins.
