532503 Wind River Dialysis Center
Wind River Dialysis Center is a vital healthcare facility located in Fort Washakie, Wyoming, primarily serving the residents of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Established in 1995, this non-profit, independent dialysis center provides crucial in-center hemodialysis services to patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The center operates as an outpatient facility, and patients are typically referred by physicians and nephrologists. Many patients are initiated on dialysis at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper before transitioning to the Wind River Dialysis Center for their ongoing treatments. The facility plays a critical role in the local healthcare landscape, offering life-sustaining treatment in a rural and underserved area. This allows patients to receive care closer to home, reducing the burden of travel for treatments that are typically required multiple times a week. The center is a Medicare-certified ESRD facility and is recognized as an Indian Health Service (IHS) provider. A State Plan Amendment in Wyoming has allowed for an enhanced OMB encounter rate for certain services at tribal facilities, including the Wind River Dialysis Center, highlighting its importance within the state's healthcare system for the tribal community. The center is equipped with 13 dialysis stations and is an essential service for a vulnerable patient population in Fremont County.
