Carissa Lane, Wyoming Native, knows a thing or two about telehealth. She also has some perspective on being licensed in multiple states. The question on everyone's mind is how do we bring our Wyoming native providers back home? Telehealth may be part of the answer.
Carissa grew up in Cheyenne, WY and completed her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology & Health Promotion through the University of Wyoming. She then went on to complete her Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ with honors in 2017. Carissa initially entered the PT field practicing in the inpatient rehabilitation setting, but soon transitioned into various settings including outpatient neuro, outpatient ortho, neuro wellness, and home health. She now works part time in a telehealth musculoskeletal physical therapy company and owns her own virtual wellness coaching business, Carissa Lane Wellness, specializing in burnout prevention/recovery, stress management, and holisitic health for healthcare professionals. In 2022, she obtained her Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching certification and continues to prioritize lifestyle medicine with all of her patients and clients. Carissa now lives in St. Augustine, FL with her significant other and two dogs.
She is currently a licensed physical therapist in multiple states (FL, TX, PA, NY, NJ) providing musculoskeletal care to individuals who might not have access to these services otherwise, and treats health coaching clients all over the United States. While Carissa no longer lives in Wyoming, she continues to have deep connections to the state and communities, and is looking to expand her reach to help individuals in need of high quality care and support.

The Wyoming Health Resources Network (WHRN) works to help improve and enhance rural health services and promote healthier individuals and communities in Wyoming. WHRN seeks to assess and better understand the needs of Wyoming’s health care providers and the communities we serve.
To do so, we have partnered with Elevate Wyoming who will be administering a confidential survey designed for Wyoming’s healthcare workers/organizations. The survey results will help us better understand the needs of Wyoming’s health care providers, identify strengths, and key areas of focus in the coming year.

|
A few key points about the survey:
All responses are anonymous and confidential
Our goal is to identify trends across the state
The survey should take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete.
Please complete the survey on your computer or tablet - the survey may not translate well on smart phones.
The WHRN survey portal will remain open until March 1st, we appreciate your timely response.
Thank you, in advance, for taking the time to provide your insight and feedback.
