Transition Across the Community Team (TACT) program

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center’s Transition Across the Community Team (TACT) program is a no-cost, patient-centered program designed to improve quality of life, reduce re-hospitalization and contain costs for patients who are 18 years of age and older and considered high risk.

If you’re experiencing an episode of illness, you may receive care across multiple settings—often resulting in incomplete or confusing information.

The goal of the TACT program is to ensure you and your family have the tools, encouragement and resources you need to advocate for yourself and/or take a lead in your care related to:

  • Arthritis and other related disorders
  • Cancer
  • Cardiac Arrhythmia
  • Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Diabetes
  • Hip Fracture
  • Hypertension
  • Medical/Surgical Back Disorder
  • Obesity
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Stroke
