Community Outreach

For more than half a century, Washakie Medical Center has been keeping residents of Big Horn Basin focused on wellness and prevention.

Banner’s non-profit mission inspires employees to reach out as individuals and partner with groups and organizations to improve our community’s quality of life.

Our staff works closely with the youth in our community. To encourage their involvement in sports and other activities, make healthy daily choices and consider careers in health care, we offer a number of programs including:

•  Camp Healthcare
•  High School Healthy Athlete Sports Program
•  4-H and FFA junior livestock sale supporter
