State healthcare facility management is undergoing changes with new appointments at the Veterans’ Home of Wyoming (VHW) in Buffalo and the Wyoming Life Resource Center (WLRC) in Lander. Both facilities are operated by the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH).
Greg Meredith, a Buffalo native and licensed nursing home administrator, has been named as the new administrator for VHW. He brings experience in patient care, behavioral analysis, and leadership to the role, having previously worked at the Wyoming Life Resource Center. Stefan Johansson, WDH director, expressed his excitement for Meredith’s appointment and the progress he aims to bring to the facility.
In the meantime, James West has been appointed as the interim administrator for WLRC in Lander, following the resignation of Jeremy Forbis. West also serves as the administrator of the WLRC intermediate care facility. Matt Petry, Behavioral Health Division senior administrator with WDH, commended West for taking on the interim role and expressed optimism for the continued exceptional care provided to residents at WLRC.
VHW in Buffalo, established in 1903 to support Wyoming veterans, offers domiciliary care and skilled nursing care. On the other hand, WLRC in Lander provides high-level intermediate and long-term care to individuals with complex needs. The facilities play crucial roles in the healthcare system of Wyoming and are dedicated to serving their respective populations with the highest level of care and support.
