Casper: Health Care

The Wyoming Medical Center in Casper serves the Natrona County area and also draws patients from rural communities of greater distances. The state's largest medical facility is licensed for 206 beds after undergoing a significant expansion in 2001, which added a new emergency department and trauma center. The facility houses two Centers of Excellence, the Heart Center of Wyoming and the Wyoming Neuroscience and Spine Center. In addition to those specialties, the Wyoming Medical Center provides a range of services such as urology, magnetic resonance imaging, inpatient rehabilitation, Flight for Life, urology, cancer treatment, and pediatrics.

The main campus of the Wyoming Behavioral Institute is located in Casper, with substance abuse and mental health services for adults, adolescents, and children. The facility offers initial assessment, intensive inpatient treatment, detoxification programs, and outpatient therapy.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Casper Clinic serves as an outreach center connecting military veterans to health care and counseling services, including making arrangements for bus travel to V.A. hospitals in Cheyenne or Sheridan. A number of other specialty clinics operate in Casper, addressing medical concerns around dermatology, allergies, and women's health care.
