State-of-the-art hospital to bring essential healthcare services to the surrounding Riverton Community
BHI has been awarded the contract to serve as General Contractor for the construction of the highly anticipated Riverton Medical District Hospital in Riverton, Wyoming. The new two-story, 71,000-square-foot facility will address critical healthcare needs for more than 22,000 residents in the Riverton region. Construction is set to begin today, December 11, 2024, with completion projected for late 2026.
The Riverton Medical District Hospital will offer essential healthcare services, including 13 inpatient beds for labor, delivery, and intensive care, two surgical suites, a state-of-the-art emergency department with a trauma bay and helicopter pad, and a comprehensive outpatient clinic for primary and specialty care. The facility will also provide diagnostic, radiology, laboratory, and pharmacy services, ensuring that Riverton residents have access to high-quality care without having to leave their community.
Brandon Wilkins, Vice President at BHI, shared his thoughts on the significance of this project:
“This hospital is more than a construction project— it’s a symbol of the power of community-driven progress. Our team is honored to partner with Riverton Medical District to bring vital healthcare access to this region. We understand the unique challenges of building in rural communities, and we’re committed to delivering a facility that will serve Riverton’s residents for generations to come.”
BHI’s role as General Contractor will support the broader mission of the Riverton Medical District to create a community-led hospital that is locally owned and governed. The facility will also create significant economic impact, generating 90 construction jobs and employing an estimated 140 healthcare professionals once fully operational.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the hospital is scheduled for spring 2025, providing an opportunity for the community to celebrate this transformative milestone.
