Dear Official

As a concerned citizen and your constituent, I am writing to urge you to repeal Wyoming’s remaining Certificate of Need (CON) regulations for nursing homes and long-term care providers. While most healthcare facilities in Wyoming are free of these restrictions, nursing homes remain burdened by outdated policies that limit competition, restrict access to care, and drive up costs for families.
Wyoming’s growing aging population, particularly in rural areas, faces serious challenges in accessing quality long-term care. Repealing CON requirements would:
1. Increase Access: Removing barriers will allow new nursing homes to open, especially in underserved communities.
2. Lower Costs: Competition among providers will reduce costs, making care more affordable for families.
3. Promote Innovation: Providers will be able to adopt new technologies and expand services to meet demand.
Other states that have eliminated CON laws, have shown how deregulation fosters competition and improves access to care. It’s time for Wyoming to follow their lead and prioritize the needs of patients over bureaucratic delays.
I strongly encourage you to support repealing CON regulations for nursing homes to ensure that all Wyoming residents, regardless of where they live, have access to affordable, high-quality long-term care.
Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue.

What is CON Repeal?
Repealing Wyoming’s remaining Certificate of Need (CON) regulations for nursing homes would remove barriers that limit access to care, increase costs, and stifle competition. By eliminating these outdated requirements, Wyoming can ensure affordable, high-quality long-term care, especially for underserved rural communities and our growing aging population.
