    (Lander, WY) – The Lander Free Medical Clinic, which held its first community meeting back in November, now has an official logo, and also announced some recent partnerships.

    The Board of Directors for the clinic partnered with Eryn Pierce, a local Lander graphic designer, to make a new logo they feel to be representative of mountain roots and their mission to deliver high quality free healthcare to the most vulnerable in our community.

    “We thank Eryn for the snazzy new logo and for the donation of her valuable time to our project!” the announcement mentioned.
