Cody Regional Health stands as northwest Wyoming's healthcare cornerstone, a governmental entity that has evolved far beyond its origins to become a comprehensive medical center serving the Big Horn Basin with sophistication typically found only in urban settings. Founded as a community-driven initiative and now managing over $223 million in assets with a net position of $180 million, this isn't the struggling rural hospital narrative you might expect. Instead, you'll join an organization that performs over 160 robotic-assisted surgeries annually using Da Vinci technology, operates one of America's Best Addiction Treatment Centers, and maintains financial strength that enables continuous innovation and expansion rather than merely surviving.
Walking through the 269,391 square feet of modern facilities, you'll discover an institution that defies rural healthcare stereotypes. The Big Horn Basin Cancer Center delivers personalized oncology care that keeps patients close to home rather than traveling to Billings or Salt Lake City. The orthopedics department employs cutting-edge Visionaire and OrthAlign technologies for precision joint surgeries. The Cedar Mountain Center has achieved national recognition for addiction treatment, integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy with compassionate, holistic approaches. This breadth of advanced services, supported by Epic Systems EMR implementation, creates an environment where primary care physicians can confidently manage complex patients knowing that sophisticated specialty backup exists just down the hall.
Under CEO Hannah McRae's leadership since April 2025 and CFO Coby La Blue's financial stewardship backed by 33 years of rural healthcare expertise, Cody Regional Health has embraced transparency, innovation, and community integration. Monthly open board meetings invite public participation, while the physician voice remains strong through board representation including a practicing pediatrician. This isn't corporate medicine with decisions made in distant boardrooms – it's community-driven healthcare where physician input genuinely shapes organizational direction.
The breadth of services at Cody Regional Health creates an ecosystem where primary care thrives with appropriate specialty support. Women's Health offers advanced hormone replacement therapy and comprehensive OB/GYN services. The orthopedics program includes sports medicine with dedicated athletic trainers. General surgery capabilities extend to minimally invasive robotic procedures. This isn't the isolated rural practice where you're managing complex conditions alone – it's integrated healthcare delivery with the resources to provide comprehensive care close to home.
Cody Regional Health represents the evolution of rural healthcare – maintaining the personal touch and community connection that drew you to medicine while providing the resources, technology, and colleague support necessary for professional satisfaction. This unique combination of Critical Access Hospital advantages, financial stability, technological sophistication, and genuine community integration creates an environment where physicians don't just practice medicine – they help shape the future of rural healthcare delivery.
