HealthWorks' current first-party page says its in-house Cheyenne pharmacy serves community members who are not HealthWorks patients and is a dispensing and donation site for the Wyoming Medication Donation Program. It posts Monday-Friday hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m., names two PharmD pharmacists, says most prescriptions are available in 15 minutes, and offers requested curbside pickup or mail delivery for a fee.

The page also points patients to discounted medications, vaccinations, 340B eligibility review, prescription-assistance programs and medication-therapy-management appointments; income-eligible sliding-fee patients may qualify for free or discounted prescriptions. This is a standing operating baseline retrieved July 16, 2026, not a dated opening or expansion.

The 15-minute statement is not a guaranteed or independently measured wait time; two named pharmacists are not a complete headcount, schedule or FTE total; and references to 340B, sliding fees or a possible year of medication through assistance programs do not establish eligibility, inventory or savings for every patient or drug.

The page does not report prescriptions dispensed during 2026, nonpatient share, donation volume, program enrollment, mail fees, staffing capacity, stock availability, realized savings or outcomes.

Community Health Center of Central Wyoming's current first-party behavioral-health page says the organization has served more than 700 patients through its IMPACT Collaborative Care Model in Natrona and Fremont counties. The model describes coordination among a primary-care provider, psychiatric consultant and care-management team for depression treatment; the page also lists evaluation, case management, therapeutic intervention, prescription management and free depression screening.

Its provider directory names 10 behavioral-health professionals: nine associated with Casper, including one PMHNP also linked to telehealth-only service in Riverton, Lander and Dubois, and one PCSW linked to Lander and Riverton. This is a standing self-reported program and workforce baseline retrieved July 16, 2026, not a dated expansion.

The source does not define the 700-plus measurement period, whether the count represents unique or currently active patients, or site-level distribution; its access and improvement language does not establish measured depression, suicide-prevention or well-being outcomes. Ten listed professionals are not proof of 10 FTEs, net additions, simultaneous availability or complete staffing, and integration with other service lines does not prove that every service is available at every site or encounter.

The page gives no visit count, appointment capacity, wait time, workforce start dates, retention, funding amounts, per-patient cost or comparative outcomes.

The current first-party page for directory-listed Community Action of Laramie County, Inc. identifies Crossroads Healthcare Clinic in Cheyenne and posts clinic/social-services hours of 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–7 p.m. Wednesday, and 7:30–11:30 a.m. Friday, with a noon–1 p.m. weekday closure. Those windows equal 40 posted hours per week after the stated lunch closure.

The page lists eight care categories—primary, preventive, diagnostic, wellness, behavioral health, prescription assistance, health education and chronic-disease management—and names a nurse practitioner, registered nurse and medical assistant; its behavioral-health-clinician field says TBD. This is a standing operating and workforce baseline retrieved July 16, 2026, not a dated expansion.

Posted hours are not provider hours, FTEs, appointment capacity or proof that every service is available throughout each window; the three names are not a complete headcount, and TBD is not proof of an approved vacancy or hiring plan. The page does not report appointments, visits, wait times, panel size, utilization, retention or outcomes.

Observed July 15, WYPCA's directory lists 18 Wyoming clinic locations across eight named provider networks or programs: Ag Worker Health & Services, Health Care for the Homeless, Crossroads Healthcare Clinic, Educational Health Centers of Wyoming, Community Health Centers of Central Wyoming, One Health, HealthWorks, and Health West.

The directory says community health centers serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. These directory groupings should not be equated with HRSA's separate count of five 2024 reporting Health Center Program awardees.

The University of Wyoming reported May 13 that Albany Community Health Clinic received NCQA patient-centered medical-home recognition. The university says all three UW-operated Educational Health Center of Wyoming clinics now hold that recognition: Albany Community Health Clinic in Laramie, Wyoming Family Practice in Casper, and UW Family Medicine in Cheyenne.

UW links the designation to primary-care processes, education, interprofessional practice, and continuous quality improvement; it does not claim that the designation guarantees an RHT award.

CMS's final 2026 state-level file classifies 31,529 of Wyoming's 41,545 QHP selections as rural. It records 14,824 bronze, 9,230 silver, and 17,491 gold selections, with the remaining suppressed or other metal-level values handled under CMS's file rules.

These are observed selection counts, not projected uninsured totals, and the distribution does not establish where people later obtained care.

HB 4, “Birthing centers—Medicaid coverage,” was signed February 27 as Chapter 1 and took effect July 1, 2026. The act authorizes Medicaid payment for services rendered by birthing centers.

It does not enact the separate maternal-services rate proposal in HB 64, which failed introduction, or carry that proposal's $2 million appropriation—$1 million from the General Fund and $1 million from federal funds—for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028.

Wyoming's original Rural Health Transformation Notice of Award covers Budget Period 1 from December 29, 2025 through October 30, 2026 and lists $205,004,742.95. The recipient-specific terms temporarily restricted drawdown while Wyoming supplied a revised, itemized budget; they rejected unsupported lump sums, assumed necessity, and unresolved “TBD” items.

This notice documents an initial control point, not final approval of the state's original perpetuity-fund design.

HealthWorks announced its move to 506 W. 17th Street in Cheyenne, describing the new clinic as three times the size of its prior facility and able to support medical, dental, behavioral-health, and pharmacy services and provider recruitment. The organization reports that it served 2,814 patients in 2024, including 580 uninsured patients, and filled 22,753 prescriptions.

The release does not identify the construction financing sources or tie the move to later Marketplace or RHT changes.

Directory-listed Community Health Center of Central Wyoming, Inc. (CHCCW) announced December 11, 2025 that its Sliding Fee Discount Program would change effective January 1, 2026. For Slides A–D, the posted 2026 provider-visit fees are $10, $20, $30 and $40, while listed ancillary categories—labs, X-rays, vaccines, procedures, injections and supplies/DME—carry $5, $10, $15 and $20 flat rates; patients above 200% of the federal poverty guideline face standard charges.

Existing slide holders do not need to reapply until their current slide expires, and the page says their new fees start automatically January 1. This is a realized 2026 price-access schedule, not evidence that charges decreased: the source does not publish prior fees, define each slide’s income band on this page, say every service is available at every site, or report applicants, approvals, collections, visits, savings, utilization or outcomes.

Its 7–10-business-day online-application instruction is an administrative processing estimate, not an appointment wait time or approval guarantee.

Wyoming submitted its original Rural Health Transformation application on November 5, 2025. That document proposed an investment-based perpetuity structure and described tentative initiatives and timelines.

CMS later restricted the initial award pending a revised budget, and the Governor's May 2026 release says Wyoming submitted an updated proposal before final approval. The November application is useful proposal history but cannot be cited as proof that CMS approved its original allocations.
