Your doctor says, “We’re starting you on anticoagulation.”
You nod… but you’re thinking, what does that actually mean?

Anticoagulation is a way to help prevent blood clots. It usually involves medications (often called blood thinners) that keep your blood from clotting too easily. These are commonly used for things like atrial fibrillation, past blood clots, or certain heart and vascular conditions. It doesn’t mean your blood can’t ever clot, it just helps reduce the risk of dangerous clots that can lead to serious problems like stroke or pulmonary embolism.

Often, patients may start on a medication like Coumadin, which requires periodic lab testing to make sure the levels are just right. Over time, some patients may transition to other options that are less restrictive.

If you’ve been prescribed anticoagulation, our team can help you manage it, understand how it works, and know what to expect. Questions? Call us at (307) 682-9962.

They’re meant to supplement, not do all the work. A balanced diet still matters most.

Your doctor says, “You’ve got a hernia.”
You nod… but you’re thinking, what does that actually mean?

A hernia happens when something inside your body pushes through a weak spot in muscle or tissue. Most commonly, it’s part of the intestine pushing through the abdominal wall. This can cause a noticeable bulge, discomfort, or pain, especially when lifting, coughing, or standing for long periods.

Hernias usually don’t fix themselves, and in some cases they can become urgent if the tissue gets trapped or loses blood flow. That’s why it’s important not to ignore it or put off getting it looked at. Our doctors can evaluate it and help you decide if treatment or surgery is the right next step.

Give us a call at (307) 682-9962.

Living in Wyoming means we’re surrounded by some pretty incredible landscapes. Earth Day is a good reminder to step outside and enjoy it. Fresh air, sunshine, and a little movement can do a lot for both your body and your mind.

Please help us welcome Hope Lyon, APRN, FNP-C to Wyoming Medical Associates!
Hope has been caring for patients in Gillette since 2020 and has spent the past two years working as a Nurse Practitioner. Before entering healthcare, she worked in social work, where her passion for helping others really took shape.

She earned her nursing degree locally before going on to complete her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees through Western Governors University. As a sixth generation Campbell County resident, Hope sees this community as an extension of her family and feels a deep sense of purpose in caring for the people in it.

Outside of work, you’ll find her traveling, camping, reading, or crocheting.

Chronic venous insufficiency is common and treatable. One option we offer is thermal vein closure, a minimally invasive procedure that helps restore healthy blood flow.

Here’s how it works:
A small catheter is inserted into the affected vein, where heat is used to gently close it. As the catheter is withdrawn, the entire vein is treated.

Most patients feel little to no pain and are back to normal activities within a few days. Many even notice a difference within the first 24 hours, with continued improvement over the next couple of weeks.

If your legs haven’t been feeling right, it might be time to get them checked. Call us at (307) 682-9962 to learn more.
