Our History
Since 1974, RiverStone Health has had a rich history of providing health services to our community, from our role as the Yellowstone City-County Health Department to seeing patients in our medical and dental clinics as part of a nationwide system of Federally Qualified Health Centers. We provide training for primary care doctors through the Montana Family Medicine Residency, educational opportunities for other health professionals, and numerous services that improve family and community health. In our medical and dental clinics, we serve all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
