Billings Heights & Yellowstone Valley Medical Supply Hub – U.S. 87 Readiness
Billings Heights connects Bighorn Basin ranch country, Malmstrom flight corridors, and Yellowstone County’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #2923 at 1649 Main Street keeps Billings Clinic Heights, St. Vincent Heights, RiverStone Health WIC, Lockwood School District, Shepherd/Lake Elmo EMS, Phillips 66/CHS product pipelines, and Bighorn Basin tribal partners stocked without crossing the Yellowstone River bridges.
Within 35 miles are Billings Clinic Downtown, St. Vincent Healthcare, RiverStone mobile clinics, Lockwood industrial parks, Shepherd agriculture corridors, Laurel refineries, Huntley Project irrigators, Pryor/Crow Agency clinics, and Bighorn Basin energy operators. Flooded bridges, refinery incidents, wildfire smoke, and Bakken rig surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” hub north of the river—this Main Street counter answers that need.
The Heights grew from the Great Northern railhead and Air Force depot into today’s logistics and suburban engine. LAC Health supports that momentum with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish/Crow) documentation, and ICS workflows aligned with Lockwood Fire, Crow DES, and Yellowstone County LEPC.
