Endometriosis care in Wyoming: the facts that matter
The largest metro areas in Wyoming are Cheyenne and Casper. Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA, so adult eligibility is narrower (KFF). State programs and clinics: Wyoming health department, women's health (opens in new tab). Cheyenne is about 100 air miles from Denver, the distance behind the usual out-of-state referral.

Specialist endometriosis care in Wyoming
Wyoming has no medical school of its own. The University of Wyoming describes WWAMI as Wyoming's medical school, a regional partnership with the University of Washington School of Medicine that trains physicians from Wyoming in Wyoming. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center says its da Vinci Xi robotic system is used for gynecologic surgeries including hysterectomy, ovary removal and fallopian tube removal, and Banner Health, which operates Banner Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, describes gynecologic surgery across its system that includes endometriosis surgery, meaning removal or ablation of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. We could not verify a named endometriosis, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery or pelvic pain program anywhere in Wyoming.
Casper is about 230 miles from Denver in a straight line and about 320 from Salt Lake City. Rock Springs is about 150 miles from Salt Lake City, Jackson about 200 from Salt Lake City and about 60 from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Sheridan about 100 from Billings, Montana; Laramie is about 60 miles from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Wyoming has not adopted the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion, according to KFF's October 2026 tracker. America's Health Rankings' 2026 report puts 5.1 percent of Wyoming women aged 15 to 44 in a county with no hospital or birth center offering obstetric care and no obstetric clinicians. The Wyoming Department of Health's Maternal and Child Health unit publishes the state's women's and family health resources.
