Cat Urbigkit media release With Albert Sommers’s decision not to seek re-election to House District 20, Boulder rancher and writer Cat Urbigkit announced on Friday, April 4, 2024 that she will be seeking the Republican nomination to represent the citizens of Sublette County and LaBarge in the Wyoming Legislature. "I’d consider it an absolute honor to be elected to represent Sublette County and LaBarge in the Wyoming Legislature," she said. "I’ve been involved in policy and political issues for decades and believe that this district should continue to have a strong voice in Cheyenne." Urbigkit is a rancher and writer based in the Big Sandy area who has spent most of her life in Sublette County. She started her career in journalism writing for the Pinedale Roundup before partnering with three dear friends to establish the Sublette Examiner. Urbigkit later left the newspaper business to write nonfiction books but has continued as a weekly columnist for Cowboy State Daily and was the owner and editor of a national sheep industry magazine until earlier this year. "Over the last year, I’ve had so many people encouraging me to run for office and with my family’s blessing, I’ve decided to do it. Throughout my journalism career, I’ve been an advocate for the principles of good governance, of government in sunshine," Urbigkit said, "I have a history of researching and reporting on the facts, holding public officials accountable, and challenging governments to improve flawed programs – and I’d love to continue those efforts as a representative of House District 20 in the Wyoming Legislature." "A few basic principles would guide my decision making as a legislator. First and foremost is adhering to the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions," Urbigkit said. "Beyond that, I would weigh whether legislation helps or harms our citizens, whether it protects or suppresses individual liberties, whether it reflects the proper role of government, and whether it is structured in a way that promotes the principles of good government. "I’m a limited government Republican," Urbigkit said. "That means that I don’t believe the government should be sticking itself into every facet of our lives and limiting our liberties. I advocate for ‘Mind Your Own Business’ when it comes to government intrusion," she said. "Rather than imposing statewide mandates, I favor empowering local governments with the ability to respond to local needs. "We need elected leaders whose priorities include doing the hard work of ensuring quality education for our children and strengthening our communities and economy. We need a representative who will quell government overreach and advance good governance principles such as transparency and accountability," she said. "I have the strength for the fight and the heart to serve the people of House District 20," she said, adding that she looks forward to visiting with citizens throughout the district during the campaign.

Sublette County Hospital District MARBLETON, WYOMING — The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has granted $62,212 to the Sublette County Health Foundation to purchase a new Sonosite Point of Care Ultrasound for the Marbleton Medical Clinic 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. Board chair Tonia Hoffman writes, "The Sublette County Hospital District extends sincere gratitude for the generosity of the Helmsley Charitable Trust and for their sizable investment in our communities. Access to care is a priority for our organization, and this gift will help us in our mission to provide the best care we can to our friends and neighbors. The Helmsley family has impacted generations in rural America, and I am so thankful for the good work they do." Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. This safe, cost-effective tool supports other clinical information to help providers make timely diagnoses and provide appropriate treatment. Foundation Board Chair Sid Stanfill notes, "The Foundation is pleased to provide this important piece of equipment to the Marbleton Clinic." Walter Panzirer, a Trustee for the Helmsley Charitable Trust, said the grants will help improve access to quality medical treatment for all Wyoming residents, whether they live in the heart of Cheyenne or Casper or in a smaller rural community. "Our hospitals and health centers need to stay current with rapidly advancing technology so they can continue to provide top-notch healthcare close to home," Panzirer said. "These grants help ensure that facilities across Wyoming have the latest and greatest ultrasound equipment and training." The grants were announced Thursday during a statewide news conference. About two-thirds (97) of the 143 devices purchased through the $12.3 million in equipment grants are POCUS machines, which are used by providers at the bed or tableside for immediate assessment of a patient to quickly determine a course of action. The grants will also provide 26 general ultrasound systems and 20 cardiovascular ultrasound systems, which aid in imaging of the heart. The initiative also includes nearly $1.6 million for the University of Wyoming’s Wyoming Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training Initiative, which aims to enhance patient care across the state by both broadening the scope of training in specialty ultrasound and bolstering access to quality POCUS services.
