I can think of plenty of other reasons not to move from Philadelphia to Wyoming when you retire. But if you moved to, say, Cheyene, I'm sure you'd be safe, medically speaking.
After college I took a job at a newspaper in Crookston, MN, a town of about 8,000. The nearest large-ish city, Grand Forks, ND, was 30-45 minutes away. I was in good health, but as far as I know Crookston had a perfectly good healthcare system. I think they'd be able to handle anything short of maybe some unusual urgent condition that would require a helicopter ride to a big city or the Mayo Clinic.

Thank you, but I stole it from Gertrude Stein, the American writer and expatriot (lived in France, hung out with Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and so forth). who said it about Oakland, California, where she grew up. ;D
(Stein was also a lesbian, btw.)
