Casper is a hub for health care including the Wyoming Medical Center, which would be nine blocks north of the proposed 36-bed facility at 12th and Conwell streets.
Supporters of locating the facility in Casper point out the larger number of Certified Nursing Assistants and other medical personnel in the Natrona County community.
As part of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl week of activities, Wyoming football players spent a few hours at a Boise-area veterans hospital visiting with injured men and women that have served our country.
