Bottineau Turtle Mountain Medical Supply Hub – Scenic 5, ND‑5 & International Peace Garden Gateway
The Turtle Mountains connect St. Andrew’s Health Center, Trinity Health outreach, CHI clinics, Dakota College, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, U.S. Customs, International Peace Garden events, forestry/fire crews, and agriculture cooperatives spanning North Dakota and Manitoba. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #4569 at 912 11th Street East keeps St. Andrew’s, Trinity Minot partners, Turtle Mountain tribal clinics, Bottineau Ambulance, forestry crews, and cross-border EMS stocked without waiting on Minot or Winnipeg depots.
Within 30 miles are St. Andrew’s Health Center, Dakota College nursing programs, Turtle Mountain Community College, Dunseith border crossing, International Peace Garden, J. Clark Salyer Refuge, USDA forest stations, and the ND‑5/US‑83 corridors. Snow emergencies, wildfires, border drills, and rural hospital surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter aligned with Turtle Mountain ICS—this Bottineau hub delivers.
Bottineau blends rural healthcare, tribal services, cross-border tourism, and forestry operations. LAC Health supports that blend with generator-backed cold storage, bilingual (English/Chippewa/Cree/French) manifests, and MOUs with Bottineau County EM, Turtle Mountain EMO, and International Peace Garden security.
