Wyoming State Information

The state of Wyoming is in the mountainous region of the United States. This state ranks as the tenth largest state in the nation by area, and it is also the second least populous state. In 2016, the population of the entire state was estimated to be around 586,107 people, and this is smaller than 31 of the most populous cities in the nation. Mountain ranges and the Rocky Mountains cover two-thirds of Wyoming, and the other third of the state is high elevation prairie. The US Government owns almost half of the entire state, and these areas include two large national parks. Mineral extraction and tourism are the two main driving forces of the state’s economy with more than five million people coming through the National Parks each year. The climate of Wyoming as a whole is drier and windier than the rest of the states in the United States.

Wyoming Health Information

As a whole, the state of Wyoming has several key health issues that the population sees as a statewide trend. A big problem that can cause routine conditions to get worse is the lack of access to healthcare. There are many more rural communities in Wyoming, and if you combine this with no health insurance, you have people who put off going to the doctor until their condition gets bad enough that they have to see a doctor. Additionally, chronic conditions like asthma, COPD, diabetes, and heart disease are big health concerns as well. Every one in five children and one in three adults in this state are considered to be obese, and this also contributes to the other health problems that thrive in the state. These conditions can lead to an increased urgency for the public to take CPR classes and get certified. PALS certification is required for pediatric nurses and doctors in the event of an emergency with an infant or child who has a respiratory emergency.

Cheyenne

The largest city in the state of Wyoming is also the capital city, and Cheyenne has a population of 64,019 people. Additionally, the Cheyenne Metro area has a combined population of 91,738, and this figure makes this Metro the 354th largest in the nation. Cheyenne also functions as the county seat for Laramie County. It is also part of the extremely fast-growing Front Range Urban Corridor, and this Corridor runs from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Pueblo, Colorado. 1867 saw the first piece of land plotted and claimed in what is now known as Cheyenne. The Pacific Railroad brought the dream of expansion and the nickname of the “Magic City of the Plains.”

Cheyenne’s population has a problem with obesity and high blood pressure, and these two medical conditions often go hand in hand. When someone is obese, they are at a higher risk to develop other health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease. If they have high blood pressure and that goes untreated, it can also escalate to more severe health problems like a heart attack or a stroke. Recently, Wyoming celebrated CPR week by teaching hands-on CPR classes to all civilians in local grocery stores in the area. To read more about it, click here.

Casper

The second-largest city in the state of Wyoming is Casper, and this city has a population of 59,324 people. Casper earned the nickname of “The Oil Town,” and this industry still influences the region today. There is also a high prevalence of cowboy culture, and it has consistently ranked as one of the best cities to raise a family in. The mid-19th century saw a large migration of land seekers from California and Oregon, and the government built Fort Casper as a starting place for all of these migrating land seekers to stake their claims. The city’s name was originally spelled “Caspar” in honor of Lt. Caspar Collins, but a typo changed it to Casper.

Diabetes and heart disease are the two biggest problems this city has, and the number of people with diabetes has started climbing in recent years. The statewide obesity problem is a factor in this climbing rate, but the lack of health insurance also plays a role. These factors can make people go years without knowing they have a condition. Also, a lot of the time, people don’t get formally diagnosed until something goes wrong. In Wyoming, a woman performed CPR on her husband for thirteen minutes with coaching from the 911 dispatcher.

Gillette

Gillette is the third-largest city in the state with over 32,398 people calling this city home. This city also acts as the county seat for Campbell County. It is in a central location to the area in Wyoming that is responsible for supplying huge amounts of coal, oil, and methane gas. Gillette bills itself as the “Energy Capital of the Nation.”

Gillette has a slight problem with its air quality, and this is because of its proximity to all of the coal, oil, and methane gas industries. This air quality could aggravate people’s respiratory systems, especially if they have chronic respiratory diseases like COPD or asthma. Strangers recently performed CPR on a child who fell into a pool. To find out what happened, click here.

Laramie

The fourth-largest city in the state is Laramie, and this city has a population of 32,382 people as of the 2016 census. You can find this city just a short drive from Cheyenne on the Laramie River. In the mid-19th century, this city was a stop along the Union Pacific Railroad line, and it has grown ever since. It was ranked as one of the best cities to retire, and it is home to the University of Wyoming.

Lack of insurance and obesity are the two larger health risks in this city. People tend to put off going to the doctor until their health problems escalate. Heart disease is another problem as this city has an aging population and a lot of retirees come here to live out their retirements. All of these factors can contribute to one another, and this can help to lead to a very unhealthy population with a high change of repeat hospital stays. A police officer performed CPR to a motorist who lost consciousness and stopped breathing. To find out more, click here.

Rock Springs

The fifth-largest city in Wyoming is Rock Springs with a population of 23,755 residents. It is also the principal city of the Rock Springs Metro, and the combined population of these areas is 37,975 people. Rock Springs has a rich cultural heritage from the flood of migrants that came to this city with the coal mines. This is considered to be an energy-rich region with many oil and natural gas wells.

Rock Springs has a population with chronic respiratory conditions that flare when the air quality drops in the summer months. People who suffer from COPD, asthma, or lung cancer are more prone to have problems with the poorer air quality. These conditions can lead to hospitalization or even death if people don’t seek treatment. Additionally, the colder, winder winter months can make it harder to breathe when people go outside, whether they have a respiratory condition or not.
