The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation recently received a gift that will help behavioral health in the region. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
The Powder River Energy (PRECorp) Foundation Board of Directors has given $10,000 in direct support to the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation for its “Growing for You” campaign. According to information from Powder River Energy, the donation was made in conjunction with community donors and matching grants directed for behavioral health and emergency medicine.
The project is in the final phase of a multi-year effort to improve the overall services for the rural population in northeast Wyoming. Funds will be used to address needs around mental health and provide a space in Sheridan to serve patients and their families with a behavioral health unit within the Sheridan Memorial Hospital.
The unit is slated to open in the fall and will offer an outpatient clinic, behavioral health urgent care, crisis stabilization, and inpatient care to ensure access to services in Sheridan. Powder River Energy Foundation Executive Director Joe Roth said the Foundation recognizes the need to support mental health and counseling services for its service territory in northeast Wyoming, and one of their areas of emphasis is to support families in crisis and suicide prevention and the effort in Sheridan allows those in need of services to stay in Wyoming with a local provider network.
