LARAMIE -- The Wyoming Department of Health invites local clients, providers, and residents to share their thoughts and ideas on health-related issues and needs during structured listening sessions in Laramie and Casper.

The Laramie event will be from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 30, at the Albany County Library, located at 310 S. 8th Street.

The Casper event will be from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4, at Casper College in Strausner Hall Room 217, located at 125 College Drive.
