Living in Montana
People who put down roots in Montana usually have a profound connection to mountains,
rivers and open spaces. That connection usually extends to their fellow Montanans,
too. Even in a "big city" like Missoula, there is a small-town sense of unity. Perhaps
the lack of a fierce rat race and traffic congestion allows people to focus on other
priorities, such as the natural beauty around them, family and excellence in their
personal and professional lives.
Providence's two Montana hospitals are in western Montana, in the Rockies west of
the Continental Divide.
Missoula is a sophisticated city located halfway between Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks. The Clark Fork River runs through it, mountains surround
it, and that famous Big Sky hangs over it all. Its 65,000 residents can just as
easily attend a university lecture as they can hike, ski, fish, or just sit back
and marvel at the scenery.
Polson sits on the edge of the largest and arguably loveliest body of fresh
water in the West: Flathead Lake. Life moves at a slower pace in this city of 4,100,
but is anything but boring. From waterskiing and hiking to famous car shows and
other community events, residents don't take each other or their amazing surroundings
for granted.
