Campbell County Health is northeast Wyoming’s anchor healthcare system: a 90-bed acute care hospital, nearly 20 clinics including locations in Wright and Hulett, The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center, the Powder River Surgery Center, and Wyoming Orthopedic and Spine — all operating under a UCHealth affiliation established in September 2021. The system employs nearly 80 physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners across more than 20 specialties and holds an Area Trauma Hospital designation from the Wyoming Department of Health, the second-highest trauma tier in Wyoming’s four-level system. The system’s emergency department handles over 21,000 patient visits annually — a volume that reflects not just the city’s population but its role as the regional medical hub for the northeastern corner of the state.
For physicians recruited to Campbell County Health, the financial picture in Gillette is distinct from most physician recruitment markets. Campbell County’s median household income exceeds $90,000 — 30% above Wyoming’s statewide median — meaning the community physicians are joining has real purchasing power and a housing market that reflects it. Typical home values in Gillette are approaching $428,000, and upper-tier purchases in Red Hills, Lakeland Hills, and custom builds on the city’s premier lots push higher. Wyoming collects no state income tax, which means a physician’s full salary goes further here than in neighboring Colorado or Montana.
Physician loan programs that eliminate PMI, accommodate student loan debt, and accept employment offer letters before a first day of practice produce real financial benefits in Gillette’s market — not because the city is expensive, but because the programs remove friction that prevents physicians from purchasing the right home at the right time.
Ryan Lehrman, NMLS #235295, structures physician mortgage loans for Campbell County Health physicians and eligible healthcare professionals throughout Campbell County — with programs that accommodate residents, fellows, and attendings across all specialties.
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Physician loans eliminate PMI even with down payments below 20%. On a $400,000 Gillette purchase, that's typically $130–$220 per month in immediate savings from day one.
Student Loan Debt Treatment. Medical school debt is calculated favorably — income-driven repayment balances may be excluded entirely on qualifying programs, and standard student loan obligations are handled at a reduced DTI weight rather than the full monthly payment amount.
Employment Offer Letters Accepted. Campbell County Health recruits who haven't yet started their position can close on a new home using a signed offer letter or employment contract. No two-year employment history in the current role is required.
Jumbo Configurations Available. PMost Gillette physician purchases fall within the standard Campbell County conforming limit — but physicians building custom in Tenth Hole Subdivision or purchasing at the upper end of the Red Hills market can access Jumbo physician programs scaled to those transactions.
Residents and Fellows Eligible. Physicians in training with signed employment contracts qualify, even at current trainee income levels.

Yes. Residents and fellows with a signed employment contract or offer letter are eligible for physician mortgage programs. Current trainee income is acceptable, and most programs factor in future attending salary for qualification purposes. Down payment requirements may differ slightly from attending physician programs, but no PMI and favorable student loan treatment apply equally. Gillette's price point makes this particularly accessible — trainee-income borrowers can qualify for meaningful properties in this market.
The UCHealth affiliation doesn't change which loan programs are available to you — physician mortgage programs respond to your professional designation and employment documentation, not the hospital system's affiliation structure. What it does mean is that Campbell County Health operates within a larger regional system, which typically produces more predictable recruitment timelines and credentialing processes. We coordinate your mortgage close with that timeline.
The financial benefits are real regardless of price point. PMI elimination saves $130–$220 per month on a $400,000 purchase — real money over a five-year hold. Student loan accommodation can change which properties fall within qualifying debt ratios, and the ability to close on an offer letter eliminates the timing gap between accepting a position at Campbell County Health and having a home ready when you arrive. These benefits compound in your favor even in a market where the median is accessible.

Originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I moved to Phoenix to attend Arizona State University and have proudly called Phoenix home ever since.
My journey into the mortgage industry began with a friend’s encouragement, who saw how my energy and people-first mindset could make a difference. He was right — I found my calling.
I’ve always embraced what makes me different. With ADHD as my secret weapon, I thrive in fast-paced, detail-heavy environments. I’ve built my career on clear communication, creative problem-solving, and putting clients first, always.
Outside of work, my greatest motivation is my wife and three amazing kids. I’d be honored to help guide you through your lending journey with care, clarity, and commitment.
