Health Care
Wheeler County health services began with humble beginnings in a Sunday School room of the Fossil United Methodist Church in the very early 70’s. Determined visionaries such as Clarence E. Asher and the timeless efforts of local folks such as Herb C. Wright, Andrew F. ‘Buck’ Leckie, Jack Steiwer, Ken & Marge Killingsworth, Lois Hunt, Rahles Goodell, John Frachella & scores of others gave us today, a Medicare Certified and Federal Qualified Health Center in Fossil named Asher Clinic after its founder and benefactor Clarence E. Asher.

Asher Clinic and its volunteer ambulance support services in Fossil, Spray and Mitchell has grown to include satellite clinics in Spray and Mitchell providing emergency and primary care including adult and juvenile dental care; mental health/substance abuse; prenatal care – regardless of ability to pay.

Additionally, a modern not-for-profit elderly housing facility called Haven House has been operating a 19 bed assisted care facility in Fossil since the early 80’s. Conveniently located across the street for Asher Clinic
