History

If you look back at our history, it’s easy to understand why we care so deeply about what we do.

That commitment is woven into the very fabric of Cheyenne Regional—a pioneering spirit of service that dates back to 1867. In that year, Union Pacific Railroad established a frontier “tent” hospital in Cheyenne to care for workers injured while building the transcontinental railroad.

Just one year later, the City of Cheyenne purchased the tent and its supplies for $125, laying the foundation for what would become Cheyenne Regional. In the years that followed, the hospital moved locations, expanded its facilities and evolved to meet the needs of a growing community. In 1883, it found a permanent home at 23rd Street and Evans Avenue, where a new facility welcomed its first patients on December 7.

As Cheyenne grew, so did its hospital. In 1900, a typhoid epidemic prompted the formation of a Hospital Aid Society to fund critical renovations, and the facility was renamed St. John’s Hospital. Continued support from the community and Union Pacific Railroad helped expand services, including care for mothers, families and railroad workers.

In 1920, St. John’s Hospital gave way to Memorial Hospital, marking a new era of modernization and growth. Decades later, the addition of DePaul Hospital in 1952—operated by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth—further strengthened healthcare in the region.

In 1992, Memorial Hospital of Laramie County acquired DePaul Hospital, forming United Medical Center. Then in 2006, the organization became what we know today as Cheyenne Regional Medical Center.

Through every chapter—every move, every expansion, every new name—one thing has remained constant: a steadfast commitment to caring for our community.

That pioneering spirit, first sparked in a canvas tent on the frontier, continues to guide us today as we work to meet the evolving health needs of our region with compassion, innovation and excellence.
