Lake Medical Clinic

Overview

Lake Medical Clinic is the park’s seasonal walk-in clinic serving the busy Lake Village hub. It handles most routine illnesses and many emergencies during the summer season. No appointment needed. For life-threatening situations in the park, dial 911. Clinic phone: 307-242-7241.

Services

Expect urgent-care style treatment for injuries and illnesses, with on-site x-rays plus some lab and pharmacy services. When a higher level of care is required, the team can stabilize you and coordinate transfer to hospitals outside the park (think Cody, Jackson, Bozeman, or eastern Idaho).

What to Expect

It’s first-come, first-served, and staff will prioritize urgent cases—so non-urgent issues can wait, especially if an evacuation or critical case is underway. Cell coverage in the area is spotty; if you can’t connect, use a lodge front desk or find a ranger to reach help quickly. Bring your ID, insurance card, and any daily meds you rely on.

Nearby Conveniences

The clinic sits within the Lake Village complex, near large shared parking areas, the Lake General Store, and seasonal dining at the hotel/lodge. Public restrooms are in the nearby developed buildings across the complex.

Best Time to Visit

Go whenever you need care. For non-urgent issues, aim for shortly after opening or mid-afternoon on weekdays—these tend to be calmer than late afternoon/early evening surges. Hours change as the season winds down; check same-day hours before heading over.

If You Need More Care

If the clinic is closed or you prefer faster non-urgent service outside peak park times, West Yellowstone’s Billings Clinic offers same-day care just beyond the west entrance. For serious conditions, expect the park clinic to stabilize and send you to a full hospital outside the park.
