Laramie County approves opioid‑settlement subaward to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for ALTO, MAT and bridge clinic
Summary
The board approved a three‑year subrecipient agreement funded by opioid settlement dollars to support Cheyenne Regional Medical Center’s ALTO alternatives‑to‑opioids program, MAT services, a bridge clinic and medications for uninsured patients; the agreement includes quarterly reporting requirements.
The Laramie County Board of Commissioners voted July 1 to approve a three‑year subrecipient agreement with Memorial Hospital of Laramie County, doing business as Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, funded by the county’s opioid settlement allocation.
Sandra Bay of county staff presented the award and said it will fund expansion of CRMC's "alternatives to opioids, or also known as the ALTO program," staff positions and training, a medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) program, a bridge clinic and medications for uninsured patients. "This award will support CRMC in expanding its alternatives to opioids... It will also fund staff positions and training, establish a medication assisted treatment program, a bridge clinic, and provide medication for uninsured patients," Bay said. The contract is structured as a three‑year funding agreement with quarterly reporting requirements.
The record shows the award amount read into the record as $444,199,869.33; county staff and the clerk should be consulted to verify that figure as read (see clarifying details). Commissioners approved the agreement by roll call.
Next step: CRMC will execute the subrecipient agreement and report to the county on a quarterly schedule during the three‑year term.
