What the HRSA Data Shows for Campbell County

Campbell County, WY — population 47,026 carries 1 active Health Professional Shortage Area designation in the HRSA Data Warehouse: 1 in primary care, 0 in mental health, and 0 in dental. It does not currently hold a Medically Underserved Area designation, though individual HPSAs can still be present at the service-area level. These three HPSA categories are evaluated independently by HRSA, so a county can show heavy pressure on one axis — for example mental-health access — while remaining closer to the provider ratio threshold for primary care.

The county's highest shortage-severity score across the three categories is 19.0, which crosses the 17-point threshold HRSA uses to flag high-priority shortage areas eligible for National Health Service Corps placement and enhanced Medicare reimbursement. Primary-care scoring reached 18.0 (0–25 scale). Mental-health scoring reached 19.0 (0–25 scale). Dental scoring reached 0.0 (0–26 scale). HPSA scores weight the provider-to-population ratio, poverty rate, travel time to the nearest source of care, and — for dental — water fluoridation status. They are recalculated as HRSA updates its quarterly designation cycle.

HRSA lists 1 active (designated) HPSA record tied to Campbell County, covering the specific facilities, geographies, and population groups that received the designation; the table above shows the most severe. This designation data is the basis for more than thirty federal programs — loan repayment through the National Health Service Corps, Medicare bonus payments, Community Health Center grants, and J-1 visa waivers — which together channel billions of dollars annually to recruit providers into HPSAs. These figures describe structural access to care only; they are not a substitute for medical advice, and patients searching for a specific appointment should contact a provider directly or consult their insurance network.
