There is a reason Americans call it "Big Wonderful Wyoming." Wyoming is a very large state with towns and cities spread out hundreds of miles away from each other. This is a good thing for ranchers and people who like open country, but at times the distance can be a burden for the elderly and sick or injured people who are in need of healthcare treatment.
Wyoming covers 97,818 square miles of wide open space, and sometimes people must travel from one hospital to the next to get the proper treatment that is needed. This article is designed to help guide people to the hospitals in their region. We will divide this rectangle in to four main parts and explain what hospitals are available in each part of the state.

It is recommended to spend a good amount of time researching the hospitals in your area and checking your insurance coverage to make certain they do take all hospitals in your area. Furthermore, if you must be transported from one hospital to another, it is best to ask which hospitals they are best affiliated with. This is an easy way to simplify medical bills and claims and maybe save money on your out of pocket expenses.
