What counties have the greatest need for physicians?
Need changes rapidly. County need is determined using the Wyoming Healthcare Commission’s report. Counties identified as having less than one physician per 1,000 population (1:1,000)are: Big Horn, Carbon, Crook, Niobrara, Platte, Sublette, Washakie, and Weston. The Wyoming average is 1.94:1,000. The Office of Rural Health may use additional data, but this is a good starting point for applicants considering new employment opportunities.
