Kids and teens are stressing about more than masks. While most children haven’t experienced illness from COVID-19, they’ve all been exposed to life changes. Seek help from your child’s medical provider if they have any self-harm behaviors or if they have nightmares, anxieties, and increased anger or disruptive behaviors—it’s a safe time to seek care.
For medical emergencies, call 911. If you are in crisis and need to talk to a counselor, call 307-688-5050. Call your healthcare provider to learn more or visit www.cchwyo.org/findadoc to find a provider or clinic. Learn more about COVID-19 at www.cchwyo.org/covid19.

After having a surgical procedure, your behavior plays an important role in your recovery timeline.
Here are a few things you probably didn't realize can make your recovery longer than it should be:
❌ Returning to work too soon.
❌ Staying stationary for too long.
❌ Not eating enough food or drinking enough water.
❌ Skipping out on physical therapy.
❌ Not taking your prescribed medications.
Physician Assistants, or PAs, practice medicine in every specialty on healthcare teams with physicians and other healthcare providers. They conduct exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, write prescriptions, perform procedures and coordinate patient care. Because of physician assistants, more patients have access to high-quality, cost effective care. In October, we recognize the many physician assistants in the community who elevate health outcomes and increase patient satisfaction. Learn more at www.cchwyo.org/findadoc.

While most youth haven’t experienced illness from COVID-19, they’ve all been exposed to life changes. They also may worry about their family, friends or event themselves getting ill with coronavirus.

There is a free health resource at your local pharmacy—your pharmacist. That’s according to Robert Quintana, PharmD, Pharmacy Director at CCMH.
“It’s also important to review any possible interactions with other medications or foods,” said Robert. “We can contact their doctor if there are questions as well. One of the reasons that people have to be readmitted to the hospital is that they don’t pick up, or don’t take the medicine they are prescribed on discharge. That’s why it’s so important to get medications right.”

From Campbell County, Wyoming Government: Over the last month, we have watched a dramatic rise in the coronavirus impact across Wyoming and Campbell County in nearly every major metric: www.ccgov.net/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1427
The key points to know if you have had close contact (close contact is defined as being less than six feet for more than 15 minutes) with someone who has tested positive:
• A public health representative may not call you.
• You should quarantine for 14 days after your last exposure. Quarantine means staying at home and not having contact with others, except if you need medical care.
• Do not go to school or work. If you were notified by someone who tested positive for COVID-19 that you are a contact and you need a letter to quarantine for work or school, please email wdh.covid19@wyo.gov.
• Avoid public spaces, public activities and group gatherings.
• If possible, separate from others in your home by sleeping in a separate bedroom and maintain six feet of distance from household members.
• Monitor yourself for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days after the last day you were in contact with the person with COVID-19.
• COVID-19 tests are available to Wyoming residents at no cost and insurance is not necessary.
• If you develop symptoms, even if symptoms are only mild, you should isolate yourself from others, including others who live or spend time in your home. Call your healthcare provider and let them know you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.

Influenza (flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses—flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses and COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2.
According to the CDC, there are some key differences between the two illnesses: COVID-19 seems to spread more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. It can also take longer before people show symptoms and people can be contagious for longer. There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, but there is one to protect against the flu.
Getting your flu shot is more important than even this year. The flu vaccine is safe and reliable, and can prevent you and your loved ones from getting the flu. Everyone age six months and older should get a flu shot. You can get a flu shot as part of your regular healthcare appointment or just receive the vaccine, and clinic staff can file your insurance. Make an appointment with your healthcare provider today or save your place in line at the Walk-in Clinic: www.cchwyo.org/wic. Flu vaccination is available at all our clinics for only $40. To learn more about getting a flu shot in Gillette, Wyoming, visit www.cchwyo.org/flu411.
If you think you have COVID-19, please call your healthcare provider first before coming to the hospital or a clinic. If you don’t have a doctor, get in line at the Walk-In Clinic www.cchwyo.org/wic. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. If you are in crisis and need to talk with a counselor please call 307-688-5555.

Nurse Practitioner Nikole Lawrence always had her end game in sight.
She received her Associate Degree from Gillette College, her Bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Wyoming, and worked in the Medical/Surgical unit at Campbell County Memorial Hospital for seven years on the path to her goal of becoming an Advance Practice Provider. She cared for a variety of hospitalized patients from infants to the elderly, who had lots of different health issues.
“That’s why I chose family medicine,” said Nikole. “My nursing experience made me feel comfortable with the challenges of caring for all different kinds of patients. It also made me appreciate the importance of prevention to maintain health, giving patients the tools and resources to help them make and reach their goals.”

Every year, thousands of children are tragically injured or killed in vehicle crashes. In fact, it is the leading cause of death for children ages one to 13. A properly installed car seat or child restraint can help prevent a tragedy.
If you want to make sure your child’s car seat is installed properly, consider scheduling a FREE safety seat inspection with certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians at CCH Emergency Medical Services. Technicians will train parents and caregivers to install and adjust their car seats properly.
Participants are asked to bring the child, their current car seat and the vehicle that they normally travel in for the check. Inspections take around 30 minutes per child.
Inspections are held on Wednesdays from 3-6 pm at the EMS Base, 502 Stocktrail Avenue in Gillette, Wyoming—appointments are required. Call 307.688.SAFE (7233) to schedule. Replacement car seats are available for a $30 contribution.

Do you know where your power comes from?
"Power provides comfort, security, happiness and contributes to the lifestyle that we all love: heat, air conditioning, transportation, entertainment, medical care and technology. The list goes on and on. It is not possible without a coal miner."
Wyoming coal keeps the lights and heat on for much of the nation, thanks to 24 hour shifts at coal mines.
Thank you, coal miners: https://youtu.be/vuoL1WbaM4Y

Meet Carrie Snyder, the Laboratory Supervisor at CCMH. Carrie received her bachelors of science in microbiology from the University of Wyoming. She’s worked at CCH for 15 years, but has been in the health care profession for 17 years.
Carrie was inspired to work in health care because she always loved science. “I took a microbiology class in college and I was hooked. Microbiology led me to laboratory science which inspired a career to becoming a Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) which is centralized around many disciplines of science,” she says.
When asked who her health care heroes are, Carrie says that she can’t pin down just one person. “It would be a combination of teachers and professors, family, friends and co-workers,” she says.
When she’s not at work, Carrie says that she loves sports, especially the competitive kind. “My favorite sport is softball/baseball. I also enjoy coaching, camping, hiking, hunting, traveling and attending Rockies games with my husband and two daughters,” she says.
We asked Carried what she likes most about working at CCH, and what excellence every day means to her. Check out her response: https://www.cchwyo.org/news/2021/february/thanks-for-working-here-this-week-carrie-snyder-/
Thank you, Carrie, for helping to take care of our patients with excellence. We appreciate you!
