The facility, named Banner Home Medical Equipment (HME), is staffed with a licensed respiratory therapist, delivery technician, patient service representative, and operations manager. It offers medical equipment for delivery to patient homes or care facilities.

The clinic, situated on C Street and Yellowstone Highway in Casper, will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to explore the new options for home medical equipment available locally, including portable home oxygen, durable medical equipment, and therapeutic devices.
