Medical Services in Yellowstone
Emergency medical services are provided by rangers on duty. Call 911 in case of an emergency. Medical services are available year round at Mammoth Clinic (307 344-7965), except some holidays. Services are also offered seasonally at Lake Clinic (307 242-7241) May 18-Sept. 24 and at Old Faithful Clinic (307 545-7325) May 15-Oct. 7. All of these clinics are open to the public and are staffed and equipped for most medical emergencies as well as for routine care. Services include injury and illness treatment, x-rays, and some lab and pharmacy services. If in-patient care or advanced services are required, the clinic staff can stabilize patients and arrange for appropriate transfer to a hospital outside the park. |
