The Powder River Energy (PRECorp) Foundation Board of Directors has given $10,000 in direct support to the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation for its “Growing for You” campaign.

The donation was made in conjunction with community donors and matching grants directed for behavioral health and emergency medicine.

The project is in the final phase of a multi-year effort to improve the overall services for the rural population in northeast Wyoming. Funds will be used to address needs around mental health and providing a space in Sheridan to serve patients and their families with a behavioral health unit within the hospital.

The unit is slated to open in Fall of 2026 and will offer an outpatient clinic, behavioral health urgent care, crisis stabilization, and inpatient care to ensure access to services in Sheridan.

The Powder River Energy Foundation recognizes the need to support mental health and counseling services for its service territory in northeast Wyoming, according to Foundation Executive Director Joe Roth. “One of our areas of emphasis to support families in crisis and suicide prevention,” Roth said. “This effort in Sheridan allows those in need of services to stay in Wyoming with a local provider network.”
