Healthcare Facilities Project

A new vision for the Wyoming State Hospital (WSH) and the Wyoming Life Resource Center (WLRC) is planned:

• WSH will provide acute, short-term psychiatric services. Patients generally will be stabilized, treated and returned to their communities for services.
• WLRC will continue serving current clients; offer care for residents with intermediate care needs; and provide long-term care for those who are hard-to place, have high medical needs, or demonstrate exceptionally difficult behaviors and require geriatric-psychiatric care.

Because building conditions made it difficult to efficiently provide modernized treatment and care, a major construction effort is underway for both facilities.
