Container Placing container units

With the spike in COVID cases throughout the nation, the possibility of surrounding facilities being unable to accept any out of state or out of county patients has become more of a reality. Today November 20th, 2020 the Sublette County Rural Health Care District received their first of two containers specially fabricated in Pinedale, WY by Enviremedial Services, Inc. These containers are essential to operations of the clinic and will be used to test, monitor, and treat (and if needed house) any COVID-19 positive, or possible COVID-19 positive patients. These containers are fully insulated, can house up to 3 patients in separate isolated rooms, all with their own negative pressure system, running water, and electricity.

Funding for these containers came from the State of Wyoming CARES Act. The first container has been installed at the Marbleton/Big Piney Clinic and should be ready for patient use before Thanksgiving weekend. The second container is expected to be installed at the Pinedale location before the new year.
