Your Path to Compassionate Abortion Services in Boulder, CO
The process of seeking abortion care can be overwhelming, especially for those in Cheyenne facing the restrictive legal climate in Wyoming. Boulder Valley Health Center is here to provide you with safe, private, and comprehensive abortion services, no matter where you live. Our reputable facility in Boulder, Colorado, functions as an accredited abortion clinic and offers a full range of abortion care in a supportive and respectful environment.
Compassionate, Closer Abortion Care for Wyoming Patients
Abortion care in Wyoming is restricted after fetal viability (around 24–26 weeks of pregnancy), and state Medicaid coverage is only available in very limited situations. With just one abortion clinic in the entire state, access can be challenging—especially for those in areas like Cheyenne.
Our Colorado clinic offers a closer, compassionate, and confidential option for patients traveling from Wyoming. We provide safe, high-quality abortion and reproductive health care in a supportive environment where your privacy, comfort, and well-being come first.
Colorado has constitutionally protected the right to abortion, allowing us to serve patients from states with highly restrictive laws. We are dedicated to helping you understand your abortion options and providing the care you need without judgment and with complete confidentiality. We also offer reliable abortion information on the legal context of your travels.
Colorado law ensures that all patients seeking abortion care are fully protected and can access abortion services without the fear of legal consequence.
Comprehensive Abortion Services for Cheyenne Patients
At Boulder Valley Health Center, our commitment is to provide you with the full spectrum of abortion services, including:
- Medication Abortion (the “Abortion Pill”): This option is for early pregnancies and involves taking two different medications. We offer complete guidance and ensure you have thorough follow-up care for using the abortion pill.
- In-Clinic Abortion Procedures: Our caring team also provides safe and professional in-clinic abortion procedures for those who are further along or prefer this option.
Our highly trained medical professionals will discuss all available options with you. As a trusted abortion provider, we guarantee you receive a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs.

Common Questions from Cheyenne Residents
Here are some questions we often hear from patients traveling from the Cheyenne area:
- “What if I’m not a U.S. citizen? Are there specific travel or legal considerations for me?” Your care at Boulder Valley Health Center is confidential regardless of your citizenship status. We will not ask about your immigration status, and our primary concern is providing you with safe and legal healthcare.
- “Are there any specific considerations for traveling with your support person, child, or family member?” Traveling with a support person is encouraged. You will need to plan for their travel, food, and lodging costs in addition to your own.
- “Is there any difference between flying versus driving?” The primary difference is time and cost. Flying is faster but may require more immediate financial resources for flights. Driving offers more flexibility but takes a full day and requires fuel, lodging, and other expenses.
- “What are the average wait times for an appointment at your clinic?” We work to see patients as quickly as possible. The wait time can vary based on demand, but we will provide you with the earliest available appointment when you call our office, typically within one week.
- “Is my privacy protected?” Yes, your privacy is our utmost priority. All your information and medical records are strictly confidential and protected by HIPAA laws.
