Learn moreA real, disclosed healthcare-access gap
West Yellowstone has no hospital of its own; the nearest hospitals sit in Bozeman, roughly 90 miles east. Community Health Partners offers local primary and urgent care, but not emergency or hospital-level services (base record).
Montana's statewide provider shortage compounds the gap
Montana's own statewide patient-to-primary-care-provider ratio runs approximately 1,440:1, above the national average, compounding West Yellowstone's specific remote/seasonal-access challenge (base record).
Genuinely dated crime data
This pass found only a 2018-sourced crime rate (~2.9 per 1,000) -- a real, disclosed gap this record does not present as current (base record).
