Project Description

The main focus of the Cheyenne Crossroads Clinic is the provision of quality health care for individuals and families who are currently homeless in Laramie County. The clinic is staffed weekdays and Thursday evenings by a mix of clinic staff and volunteer doctors, nurses, and family nurse practitioners.

Services

The Cheyenne Crossroads Clinic provides primary health care with voucher referrals and transportation to community providers for dental, mental health, substance abuse, pharmaceuticals, and radiology care. Although the clinic focuses on providing quality primary health care, staff works with various social service agencies to meet the non-medical needs of individuals and families who are homeless. Additionally, the clinic helps both low-income and homeless individuals apply to various pharmaceutical assistance programs.
