Who We Are
The Wyoming Telehealth Consortium was established in 2009 and given statutory authority by the Wyoming Legislature to coordinate and promote telehealth activities within the state of Wyoming.
The expanded use of telehealth and telemedicine to deliver healthcare to the citizens of Wyoming offers a number of benefits, including increased access to care, treating patients in their local communities, the potential to expand emergency services in rural areas, and savings in time and travel related costs.
