| Beartooth Hospital and Health Center (BHHC) is a not-for-profit, 25-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Red Lodge. With 5 board-certified physicians, BHHC serves Carbon County, with a population of 9,000 and an annual tourism influx estimated at 50,000. In addition, BHHC is the second largest employer in Carbon County and provides the most middle-class, full-time, year-round jobs in Carbon County with a total employee count in the 110 to 130 range for the last ten years.
Even though the county population is 9,000, the hospital handles almost 33,000 outpatient encounters per year, due to Red Lodge’s role as a ski resort and locus of recreational activities. The community sits at the gateway into the Beartooth Mountains and Yellowstone Park and serves as a get-away for Billings-area workers and more than 50,000 annual tourists. |
