One trusted healthcare team, three convenient walk-in locations
There’s never a good time for a medical mishap. Whether you're suffering from a virus or a broken bone, you need expert care right away – not when it’s convenient for a doctor to see you.

Our team of medical providers is ready to care for you when you need it, at a location close to where you are. We now have several walk-in and same-day options available for all levels of medical need. As an affiliate of Wyoming Medical Center, our clinics provide high-quality care with a direct link to the advanced medical services available in Casper.
Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance accepted at all of our walk-in clinics.
Born at WMC: Our most popular baby names, 2019
What was the most popular name for babies born at Wyoming Medical Center in 2019? We crunched the data to make our first ever Most Poplar Baby Name list.
 
On the list, there were fun surprises: More babies were named Osiris (two) than were named Oscar (one). Some parents went traditional (one baby each was named Richard, David and Hannah), and some got more creative (hello to Mazikeen, Grizzlee and Emalita). There were three Blakes and four Blakeleys, as well as a Winter, an Autumn and a Tuesday.

But the race for the most popular name wasn't really close. Click to see the most popular baby name of 2019, and a look at how the rest of the list shakes out.
Kate Score, M.D., joins Cole Creek Primary Care in East Casper
“Everyone says this, but I try to put myself in my patients’ shoes. If I was where they were, and I had a confusing diagnosis, and I was scared, what would I want to hear? I would want to hear honesty from my doctor, and the complete truth of what was coming.” – Kathryn Score, M.D.

Please welcome Dr. Score to Cole Creek Primary Care, a new practice at Wyoming Medical Center East Campus. Cole Creek joins the network of Wyoming Medical Center primary care clinics that stretch across Casper, serving people where they live and work. Dr. Score is now accepting new patients of all ages. Call 307-473-6768.

#ThrowbackThursday: Decades of change at Casper's hospital
Wyoming Medical Center opened on the corner of Second and Conwell streets more than 11 decades ago, and we have been serving patients and families from the same corner ever since. While our address hasn't changed, our look sure has. At the start of our 12th decade, we dove through the Wyoming Medical Center collection at Casper College's Western History Center to see how far we've come.

Here's a decade-by-decade look at the changing face of Casper's first hospital.
