Mayor proclaims Feb. 18 as TrueCare Women's Resource Center Day in Casper
Summary
Mayor Ray Pacheco read a proclamation recognizing TrueCare Women's Resource Center for prenatal services and community support, noting the center provides free services and local funding support.
Mayor Ray Pacheco on Feb. 18, 2025 read a proclamation recognizing TrueCare Women's Resource Center and designated the day as TrueCare Women's Resource Center Day in Casper.
Jessica Baxter, identified as CEO of TrueCare, and center staff attended the meeting and described the organization’s services. "At TrueCare, our goal is to serve women, men, and families who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy," Baxter said. She described staff including registered nurses, a nurse midwife and a resource coordinator who connects people to more than 100 local and regional resources.
Baxter said TrueCare provides its services at no cost and receives no government funding, relying on community donations. She told the council the center serves "between 250 to 300 women and their families" annually and that it has operated in Casper for multiple decades. Mayor Pacheco then read the proclamation, which memorialized the center’s services and formally designated Feb. 18, 2025 as TrueCare Women's Resource Center Day in the City of Casper.
Why it matters: The proclamation is ceremonial recognition of a local nonprofit that provides free pregnancy-related services and community referrals. The center’s leaders asked for the city’s acknowledgement of their work; no city funding or subsequent council action was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Proclamation text excerpt (as read into the record): "Whereas TrueCare Women’s Resource Center provides services and resources to support women and families during pregnancy... I, Ray Pacheco, mayor of the City of Casper, Wyoming, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, 02/18/2025 as TrueCare Women's Resource Center Day in our community and encourage our citizens to join me in recognizing TrueCare Women's Resource Center and the work they do in supporting women's health in the City of Casper."
