Wyo Central Health Services

Location: Casper

Owners: Angelia Lomu, FNP-C

Our Story:

In August of 2018, I was presented with an opportunity to create and run my own business performing occupational/employment testing services.  Since starting Wyo Central Health Services I have added several different services including Primary Care, Weight Loss Management, and Episodic Illness Care. My primary care services utilize a Direct Primary Care model. My patients pay a monthly membership fee which is determined by their age. This membership fee includes full access to me via text, phone, email, unlimited office visits, any in house waived lab testing, and much more. I offer in house medications that can be dispense at the time of visit and eliminates the need to go to the pharmacy once they have been seen. This service is also available for those that are seen for an episodic illness such as sinus infections, gastrointestinal illness, or headaches.  I have contracts with a lab and an imaging center that allows my patients to get these services at pennies compared to what it would cost otherwise. My goal is to provide quality, evidence-base care at a low cost to the patient.
