Abstract:
:Medical services provided to vacationers and employees in Yellowstone National Park were reviewed for the years 1975 through 1977. Both ambulatory and inpatient data were obtained, including diagnoses, place of residence, medications prescribed, and methods of payment. The types of problems and modes of treatment did not differ from typical primary care practices. Health maintenance was the most common reason for outpatient visits. The distribution of diagnoses among park visitors and employees was the same within age categories, although the employees' rate of utilization was nearly twice that of the visitors. Distance from home was directly related to the frequency with which visitors used clinic services.
