Healthcare System Overview

An In-Depth Look into the Healthcare System

Rocky Mountain Infectious Diseases (RMID) operates as a premier private practice in Casper, Wyoming, offering state-of-the-art facilities designed to provide exceptional care to patients with complex infectious diseases. The clinic features eight fully equipped exam rooms, a dedicated procedure room, and an infusion suite capable of accommodating multiple patients at once. A wound care clinic and an onsite laboratory further enhance the practice’s ability to deliver efficient, comprehensive care. These facilities ensure that RMID meets the highest standards of clinical excellence while maintaining convenience and comfort for patients.

The practice maintains a strong partnership with a nearby 249-bed hospital, a Level 2 Trauma Center operated by Banner Health. This facility is on a trajectory toward becoming a tertiary care center, with efforts focused on expanding service lines and handling more complex cases. RMID’s collaboration with the hospital is integral to its operations, with the practice’s physicians often consulted by hospitalists and general surgeons for expertise in managing intricate cases. This close relationship highlights the pivotal role RMID plays in shaping the hospital's standard of care.

RMID’s history of leadership and innovation underscores its reputation as Wyoming’s premier infectious disease provider. Founded in 1992 by Dr. Mark Dowell, the practice has been instrumental in transforming infectious disease care across the state. From participating in international antibiotic research trials to influencing hospital infection control policies, RMID has consistently demonstrated its commitment to advancing patient care. With over three decades of expertise, the practice continues to thrive, integrating cutting-edge solutions like telehealth to extend its reach into underserved areas across Wyoming.

Despite limited competition in the region, RMID remains dedicated to sustainable growth while maintaining its focus on delivering exceptional patient care. Outreach clinics in surrounding communities, including Douglas, Gillette, Riverton, and Lander, further exemplify the practice’s dedication to serving Wyoming's diverse population. This combination of cutting-edge facilities, strong hospital partnerships, and a commitment to innovation ensures RMID’s position as a leader in infectious disease care.
