Montana
When most people think of Montana, they picture soaring granite peaks, big blue
skies, feisty trout or cattle ranches tucked against forested foothills. While we
don't have a problem with that, we know there's more. For instance, the International
Heart Institute of Montana, which draws world-renowned specialists and researchers.
So the next time you're daydreaming about elk and coyotes, think high-quality medicine,
too. Think Providence.
Providence in Montana
Providence operates two excellent but very different hospitals in Montana. St. Patrick
Hospital and Health Sciences Center is a regional tertiary center located in Missoula,
the largest city in western Montana. St. Joseph Medical Center is our smaller rural
facility in Polson, about 65 miles north of Missoula.
Through innovative partnerships with each other and like-minded institutions, St.
Patrick and St. Joseph are able to offer exceptional care to the residents of this
sparsely populated region.

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.
