Alzheimer's Association — Greater Colorado Chapter (Wyoming)
Type: Disease-Specific Nonprofit

24/7 helpline (1-800-272-3900), care consultations, support groups in Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Sheridan, Gillette, and Rock Springs, early-stage programming, caregiver education, Walk to End Alzheimer's events, and research advocacy. Wyoming's extreme rurality means most dementia care is delivered by primary care physicians without specialist backup — the state has very few geriatric psychiatrists or dementia specialists. Wyoming's aging ranching and energy industry communities face significant caregiver isolation.

CPR and first aid training, Go Red for Women events, heart disease and stroke prevention, and cardiovascular research funding. Wyoming's cardiovascular health faces significant rural access challenges — most of Wyoming's 23 counties lack a cardiologist, and patients with acute cardiac events must be stabilized at critical access hospitals before transfer to Casper, Cheyenne, or out of state.

Diabetes education, peer support, advocacy, and research funding. Wyoming's diabetes burden is significant in several vulnerable communities — the Wind River Indian Reservation (Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes) has among the state's highest T2D rates, and rural Wyoming communities face food access and lifestyle challenges.

The Wind River Service Unit of the Indian Health Service provides comprehensive healthcare — including diabetes management, behavioral health, dental, and preventive care — for the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes on the Wind River Reservation. Wyoming Indian Health Service's diabetes program addresses the extraordinarily high T2D prevalence in Wind River tribal communities — driven by historical trauma, poverty, food insecurity, and limited physical activity infrastructure. The IHS Wind River clinic in Fort Washakie and the Northern Arapaho Health facility in Ethete are the primary care anchors for reservation residents.

NAMI Helpline, NAMI Family Support Group, NAMI Connection Recovery, Family-to-Family and Peer-to-Peer education, and advocacy. NAMI Wyoming has been a central voice in WY mental health reform — Wyoming consistently ranks among the worst states for mental health access, with the fewest mental health providers per capita in the nation. Wyoming's suicide rate is among the nation's highest, and the state's rural isolation, energy boom-and-bust cycles, agricultural stress, and gun access create a uniquely severe mental health crisis.

Wyoming's Behavioral Health Division coordinates substance use disorder treatment, prevention, harm reduction, and recovery support through 7 regional behavioral health centers. Wyoming has been significantly impacted by methamphetamine — rural communities and energy corridor towns face severe meth crises. Opioid use disorder has also grown substantially.

Wyoming AA intergroups coordinate meetings across all 23 counties — from Casper and Cheyenne to Sheridan, Gillette, Rock Springs, Jackson, Laramie, Riverton, and the isolated small communities of rural Wyoming. In many Wyoming towns, the AA meeting is the only structured recovery support available. Wyoming's strong outdoor and cowboy culture has produced recovery communities that combine traditional AA with rodeo, ranch, and outdoor recreation recovery activities.

Contact your regional AAA or WY Dept. of Health Aging Division (307-777-6339) to access caregiver support in any WY county.

Wyoming's CAH network, coordinated through the Wyoming Hospital Association and the Wyoming Rural Health Alliance, is the backbone of the state's healthcare system.
