Where it all started
Formerly known as Wyoming Medical Center Foundation, we were founded in 1977 to support the needs of the hospital. Following WMC’s affiliation with Banner Health, we’ve converted to a private health foundation, and grown in both size and mission. As part of this growth, we have developed a new identity: Natrona Collective Health Trust.
In addition to continued support for Wyoming Medical Center, Natrona Collective Health Trust is committed to providing unwavering support to the community and Natrona County nonprofits through trust-based philanthropy, reliable resources, and actionable change. By using an inclusive, community-based approach to our services, resources, and allocations, we aim to address health challenges at the root of the issue.
