A $67.1 million hospital is being built in Riverton, Wyoming, to bring essential healthcare services to the region. The two-story facility, scheduled to open in late 2026, will include inpatient beds, surgical suites, and an emergency department. The project will create 140 jobs upon completion.

“This hospital represents the resilience of our community and our determination to restore local healthcare,” said Corte McGuffey, chair of the Riverton Medical District board of directors. “Achieving this milestone shows the dedication of everyone involved.”

The hospital will be located in Riverton's Eastern Shoshone Business Park and will provide a range of healthcare services, including trauma care, orthopedics, and an outpatient clinic. The project has been funded through USDA loans, federal grants, and local contributions.

“We understand the challenges of building in rural communities,” said Brandon Wilkins, Vice President of VHI. “This hospital will serve the community for generations to come.”
