Hospital Infrastructure in Wyoming
Wyoming's 26 hospitals serve just 577,000 residents, the least populous state in the nation, across the 10th-largest state by area. The state's healthcare infrastructure is built around small community hospitals, with 16 holding critical access designation. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is the state's largest hospital and serves as the primary referral center for southeastern Wyoming. Wyoming Medical Center in Casper serves the central part of the state. Wyoming lacks a medical school, and many residents travel to Denver, Salt Lake City, or Billings for specialty care. Banner Health operates hospitals in northern Wyoming, connecting patients to its larger system based in Arizona. St. John's Medical Center in Jackson serves the Teton County resort community and handles a significant number of outdoor recreation injuries. Wyoming has one of the highest per-capita rates of air ambulance transport in the nation due to the distances between facilities. The state has invested in telemedicine and partnerships with regional medical centers in neighboring states to improve specialist access. Wyoming's healthcare system faces ongoing recruitment challenges due to its rural character and small population base.
