Goods & Services

 

Medical Services

In case of an emergency, dial 911.

Medical services are available year-round (except some holidays) at the Mammoth Clinic. During summer, medical services are offered at Lake Clinic and at Old Faithful Clinic. Check the operating dates page for more details. All clinics are open to the public and are equipped for most medical emergencies, as well as for routine care. If in-patient care or advanced services are required, clinic staff can stabilize patients and arrange for transfer to hospitals outside the park.

Cell Service

Cellular service is extremely limited in Yellowstone. Cell towers at Mammoth Hot Springs, West Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Grant Village, Lake Village, and Mount Washburn provide service to most developed areas and to the North and West entrances. Check with your provider to verify coverage. During summer the number of users can overwhelm cellular circuits resulting in an inability to send or receive calls, text, or use cellular data. Texting is usually the most effective means of communication in the park. Cellular service is available in most nearby communities and along some of the major highways leading to the park, however, areas without coverage exist throughout the region.

Courtesy phones are available at the following locations in case of emergency and enable you to call 911 in areas without cell reception:

• Tower Junction
• Tower Campground
• Madison Junction Restroom
