As a Critical Access Hospital (CAH), this facility is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care while maintaining a low patient-to-provider ratio. With a 25-bed inpatient capacity, the hospital ensures each patient receives personalized attention, while also efficiently coordinating higher-acuity transfers to regional partners in Billings, MT. The hospitalist program, now fully in-house, offers improved stability, provider satisfaction, and seamless patient continuity.
The hospitalist program was previously managed by Sound Physicians but transitioned to an in-house model to enhance provider retention and operational consistency. The team includes three full-time hospitalist physicians and two full-time APPs, ensuring balanced coverage. The 1 physician–1 APP model during daytime shifts promotes strong collaboration, while telemedicine providers handle overnight coverage, eliminating overnight call responsibilities.
This hospital fosters a tight-knit, collegial environment, where providers, nurses, and staff work collaboratively to prioritize both patient outcomes and provider well-being. Administrative leadership is actively engaged in promoting work-life balance, cultivating a culture of teamwork, stability, and long-term retention.
Located in Cody, WY, this hospital exemplifies the best of rural medicine: a supportive team, manageable workload, and the ability to make a true impact on the community.
