Riverton Community Health returns in 2011

Riverton's Community Health Center could be up and running again by early next year. The facility had to shut its doors in March due to financial difficulties, which made it difficult for some to get affordable health care to area residents without insurance. But the Community Health Center of Casper received grant funding that will be used to re-open the Riverton facility. Chief Financial Officer Connie Longwell says that they are already managing the Dubois Community Health Center and soon will be able to restore service to Riverton.
"The Riverton Community Health Center, we are actually hoping to start that up and be up and running by January 1st of 2012. We are looking at using the same location, but that is still yet to be determined."
Casper Community Health officials say they will soon hold meetings with individuals and groups to determine the best way to address their health care needs.
