Gillette, Wyoming—As an alternative to going to the Campbell County Memorial Hospital Emergency Department or Campbell County Medical Group Walk-in Clinic, and to protect our community from coronavirus (COVID-19), local orthopedic physicians are opening their offices for orthopedic urgent care.
The offices encourage everyone to call before coming to a clinic for an orthopedic urgent care visit. Orthopdic urgent care locations include:

Orthopedic urgent care is only for patients without a fever or respiratory symptoms—such as congestion, cough, fever over 100.0, runny nose, shortness of breath, or a sore throat. All patients are screened for respiratory symptoms prior to entering a clinic; temperature is also taken. All staff, nurses, physician assistants and surgeons are screened for respiratory symptoms twice per day with temperature checks.

- Possible broken bones
