Big Horn County Hospital District Subject of Investigation

BASIN, Wyo. (AP) — A health care provider in northern Wyoming is being investigated by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

South Big Horn Hospital District Board of Trustees Chairman Todd Denny revealed the investigation last week but declined to provide details, including what was being investigated.

But he says the hospital in Basin is not the target of the investigation.

The South Big Horn Hospital District board became aware of possible violations of state and federal regulations in February and notified law enforcement.

News of the investigation comes as the South Big Horn Hospital District undergoes administrative changes, which have attracted some public criticism.

The district includes a hospital in Basin.
