Wyoming medical centers team up to offer more imaging services to women

A new partnership between medical centers in Wyoming will provide women in the area with improved access to diagnostic imaging services.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and Cheyenne Radiology Group, both in Cheyenne, Wyoming, have established a partnership to expand and centralize imaging services like mammograms, diagnostic ultrasounds, breast biopsies, magnetic resonance and bone density tests, according to a statement released by Cheyenne Radiology Group.

The new center, Cheyenne Women’s Imaging Pavilion, opened July 18 at the same location that houses Cheyenne Radiology Group. The partnership was established to avoid a duplication of services and to give more women more options when it comes to their health.
