Community Health Centers (FQHC) in Wyoming

Wyoming at a glance

Wyoming is home to about 20,364 foreign-born residents (3.5% of the state’s 579,761 people) and 60,581 residents of Hispanic or Latino origin (10.4%), per the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimates). The procedures below apply to everyone in Wyoming regardless of immigration status unless noted.

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) are the most important low-cost medical care network in US for uninsured or underinsured people. They serve EVERYONE regardless of immigration status.

How FQHCs work — the short version

A Federally Qualified Health Center is a nonprofit clinic funded under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Three things matter in practice: every site must serve you regardless of immigration status, fees follow a sliding scale based on income (a pay stub is usually enough proof), and most Wyoming locations put primary care, pediatrics, dental, mental health, and a low-cost pharmacy under one roof. No insurance is required, and in areas with large Spanish-speaking populations, bilingual staff are the norm.

For the full guide — typical services, what to bring to a first visit, and how the sliding fee scale is calculated — see the national community health centers guide.

Important: Public Charge Rule

Using FQHCs does NOT affect your immigration case. Public Charge Rule doesn’t consider low-cost medical services. See Public Charge Rule.
