CASPER - NATRONA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND
The Casper - Natrona County Health Department has been serving Natrona County since 1954. Currently
there are 30-40 employees with capacity for more. The Health Department operates over 20 state and federal
grants with funding support from both the city and county. We have two public facing services in our Disease
Prevention Clinic and Environmental Health while the rest predominately work in the community. The current
building was and continues to be significantly inadequate for the needs and services to the public. During
COVID, a best practice was observed with the ease of Drive Thru testing and vaccination clinics and will be a
crucial element for the new building. There are vast storage requirements of supplies, vehicles, and trailers.
Training rooms well serve as a key component in education of staff, public and use with community partners.
The purpose of the facility is to provide quality health services and guidance to protect the health and safety
of the public in Casper and Natrona County. The new and expanded CNCHD facility will host community
services, such as HIV case management, maternal and child health, community health improvement
planning, and Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) which is a community-driven
strategic planning process, as well as clinical services, such as immunizations, tuberculosis testing and
control, family planning, and sexual health and sexually transmitted infection testing and control. The facility
will also house community education programming, such as CPR & First Aid Classes, community sexual
health education, cancer prevention, community prevention, planning for parenthood, Wyoming AIDS
Education, public food safety education, and preparedness resources. Finally, the new CNCHD facility will
also house the CNCHD Environmental Health Division, which serves as the regulatory arm of the health
department. The Division is responsible for the licensure and inspection of food service establishments
(including mobile units and temporary food events), commercial lodging, campgrounds, daycares, swimming
pools/spas/aquatic facilities, and tattoo/body art establishments. Environmental Health is also responsible for
the regulatory oversight of small wastewater systems in Natrona County through a delegation agreement with
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WY DEQ).
The Casper and Natrona County public will benefit from the new CNCHD facility, which will enable CNCHD to
improve and expand the above-listed services it provides to the community. Safe pedestrian, bike, and transit
access and new parking for the facility will help to ensure equitable access to services for community
members.
