In-patient services resume at Riverton hospital
RIVERTON (WNE) â In-patient services have resumed at the SageWest Health Care Riverton hospital.
Hospital administrators said an initiative by Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has provided supplemental staffing resources to support the influx of hospital patients due to the rapid acceleration of COVID-19 in the community.
âWe would like to thank Gov. Gordonâs initiative, the Department of Health and the Wyoming Hospital Association for their staffing resource support,â SageWest Health Care CEO John Ferrelli said in a prepared statement.
All patients temporarily had been moved to Lander earlier this month.
Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and recent statewide hospitalizations, last week Gordon issued a statewide public-health order requiring the use of face coverings in almost all places outside of the home.
