NMC Health is excited to welcome Matt Aitchison, PA to our Family Medicine clinic in Park City. With the addition of Matt to our provider staff under Dr. Darla Rivera, DO, NMC Health Family Medicine – Park City is able to expand the care we provide to Park City and the surrounding communities.
Before joining NMC Health, Matt served the El Dorado community as a PA since 2015. While in El Dorado, he cared for patients in family medicine, urgent care, and research settings.
