    Wellspring Health Access in Casper has faced arson, a local backlash, and near-constant protest since it opened nearly a year ago. Now, a bill that passed the Legislature aims to place regulations on the only remaining clinic that provides procedural abortions in the state.
  • A group of men and women stand and smile at the camera in a hospital with a 3D mammography machine in the background. Two people hold a red ribbon across the group and a woman in an orange blazer stands in front of the ribbon with a pair of oversized red scissors.
    Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative
    When it comes to breast cancer, an early diagnosis can make a big difference. According to the American Cancer Society, women who have breast cancer and were diagnosed in its earliest, localized stages are, on average, 99 percent as likely to live for at least five years after being diagnosed as women without the cancer. So, the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative (WBCI) wants to help more people stay on top of their breast exams, especially those in more rural parts of the state.
