Sublette County Hospital receives Provisional License
by Sublette County Hospital District
July 1, 2025
Sublette County Hospital has reached a major milestone in the journey to opening its doors, officially receiving its provisional hospital license from the State of Wyoming on June 23, 2025.
This achievement follows the hospital’s successful life safety and construction inspection, which verified that the new facility meets all necessary standards to safely care for patients. Passing this inspection—one of the most critical steps in the licensing process—demonstrates that every space, system, and safety measure in the hospital has been thoughtfully designed and built to deliver high-quality care.
"This milestone is the result of extensive teamwork, attention to detail, and months of preparation," said Gregory Brickner, Interim CEO. "Our staff worked proactively to prepare our hospital license application, which allowed us to submit it immediately after our life safety inspection and stay right on track."
With the provisional license secured, the hospital is now focused on the final regulatory step before opening: obtaining its license from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Once approved, this will enable the facility to begin stocking the pharmacy that will serve the hospital patients and Heritage Home residents.
The Heritage Home residents are scheduled to move from the current Sublette Center into their new home on August 26th.
The hospital is preparing for its future designation as a Critical Access Hospital (CAH), a federal program that supports rural hospitals in maintaining essential services. "By preparing early and staying organized, we’re ensuring smooth transitions every step of the way," said Brickner.
These accomplishments mark exciting progress for Sublette County Health and bring the new hospital one step closer to serving the people of Sublette County with expanded care and services.
