Banner Health expand hours for eclipse weekend in Wyoming clinics

WHEATLAND, Wyo. (Aug. 9, 2017) – With the eclipse coming through Goshen and Platte counties, Banner Health is adding additional hours at clinics in Torrington, Guernsey and Wheatland, Wyo., to meet the increased patient demand.

The additional hours will provide patients, both local and travelers, with the ability to seek medical care for non-emergent issues at a local clinic rather than the emergency department. This will help in managing the volume in the emergency department and allow them to care for the emergent and critical patients.

Below are hours for Banner Health clinics in Platte and Goshen County for the four-day time period around the eclipse.
