Stitches Acute Care Center Partners with UW School of Pharmacy for Telemedicine Clinic Expansion

For many people throughout Wyoming, a visit to the doctor’s office may involve an extensive expedition. Patients sometimes need to travel long distances, on highways that can be nearly impassable, if not closed, during winter.

Confronted with these and other limitations, people living in rural and underserved communities seeking medical care sometimes forego seeking care altogether.
