GamFin and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Announce Partnership

GamFin, a national organization dedicated to financial recovery for individuals affected by problem gambling, and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center (CRMC) today announced a formal partnership to provide free, confidential financial counseling services to county residents experiencing harm related to gambling.

The collaboration brings together GamFin’s nationally recognized expertise in gambling-related financial counseling with CRMC’s commitment to resident wellness and community support services. Eligible residents will have access to one-on-one sessions with certified financial counselors who specialize in the unique challenges posed by gambling disorders, including debt management, credit restoration, household budgeting and long-term financial planning.

“Problem gambling carries a devastating financial toll that is often invisible to friends, family and employers. Our partnership with Laramie County ensures that residents who are struggling will have access to non-judgmental, expert financial guidance at no cost — because no one should have to navigate this alone.”
— Alex DeMarco, CEO and Founder, GamFin

According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, an estimated 1% of Americans meet the criteria for severe gambling disorder, with millions more experiencing moderate to mild harm. Financial consequences — including depleted savings, mounting debt and bankruptcy — are among the most common and serious outcomes. CRMC recognizes the need to address this issue as part of a broader commitment to resident health and economic stability.

“Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is proud to partner with GamFin to expand the safety net available to our community. When residents face a financial crisis related to problem gambling, we want to connect them with the tools and support they need to rebuild. This partnership reflects our ongoing investment in the health and resilience of every family in our community.”
— Brittany Wardle, Community Prevention Project Director, Cheyenne Regional Medical Center
