From August 3–9, 2025, health centers across the United States will observe National Health Center Week (NHCW), highlighting the essential role they play in providing accessible and affordable healthcare to millions of Americans.
Since their founding in the 1960s, Community Health Centers have led efforts to address not only medical needs but also the broader social and economic factors that influence health—such as housing, employment, education, and access to nutritious food. These social determinants of health remain central to the mission of health centers nationwide.
The Community Health Center of Central Wyoming (CHCCW) has been serving the region as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 1999. With clinics in Casper, Dubois, Lander, and Riverton, CHCCW is dedicated to improving the well-being of Central Wyoming communities through comprehensive, patient-centered care.
In 2024, CHCCW served 17,947 patients across its clinics. As of mid-2025, that number has already reached 11,040, reflecting the growing demand for reliable, community-based healthcare in the region.
As National Health Center Week approaches, CHCCW reaffirms its mission to provide high-quality, affordable care with compassion, dignity, and respect—regardless of a patient’s income level or insurance status.
Community members are encouraged to learn more about CHCCW’s impact and services by visiting their local clinic or exploring available resources online.
