One Health lands $260k grant to buy ultrasound equipment

The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has granted $260,199.00 to One Health to purchase point-of-care ultrasound machines as part of a statewide ultrasound initiative across Wyoming.
The initiative includes nearly $13.9 million to help Wyoming hospitals and health centers purchase ultrasound imaging devices and boost sonography and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training opportunities across the state.
“The grant-provided ultrasound machines will be used to increase and improve the services provided in One Health Clinics,” explained Dr. Sarah Sowerwine of One Health. She added, “Common clinic procedures such as joint injections can now be performed with the ultrasound to ensure correct placement, even for more challenging cases.”
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body.
