Patients deserve to have the option to receive excellent care close to home. The goal of our mission is to help provide access to quality ultrasound across the state of Wyoming. Through the use of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS), providers can make quick decisions on how to better approach their patient's plan of care. Since there is an ample number of rural facilities across Wyoming, it is not uncommon to transfer patients to larger facilities. Our goal is to educate providers and hopefully prevent unnecessary travel and extra costs for patients.

 

Ultrasound is such a great profession, and I am excited to help train fellow healthcare professionals the trick of the trade. I have had the pleasure of working as a sonographer for three years. Having experience from working at a level 2 trauma center and a critical access hospital have allowed me to experience diverse situations.
