Supporting Our Community
Who We Support
Beartooth Billings Clinic is a financially independent hospital and clinic. For more than 60 years, Beartooth has provided a variety of critically important health care services to all of Carbon County – estimated population of 10,000.
Rural health is a unique world, unlike any other. Healthcare in general poses problems that require innovation, resources, and energetic solutions – but rural health is a cause served by the truly dedicated.
This means that support from donors like you is more important than ever. Rest assured that your gifts are stewarded with the highest commitment to best practices and accounting controls. The hospital/clinic and the Foundation both receive an annual audit. All donors are welcome to visit the Foundation Office between 9:00 and 4:00 MST for further information, or to learn more about making a difference at Beartooth Billings Clinic. Beartooth – where you can touch lives and know you’ve made a difference.

Scholarships
An area in which the Foundation takes special pride is the Dr. James and Juanita Kane Scholarship Fund. Each year, several scholarships are awarded to students – and often to a hospital/clinic staff member – who want to pursue or further develop skills in a medical field. The goal is to help ensure that qualified medical practitioners will always be available to help the communities of Carbon County.
