Billings Clinic, Logan Health begin new chapter as One Sky Health

BILLINGS, Mont. - For years, Billings Clinic and Logan Health have been familiar names across Montana. Now, the two health care organizations are moving forward under a new name: One Sky Health. The change comes three years after the organizations joined together in 2023. The new name is intended to give the regional health system one identity as it continues serving communities across Montana, northern Wyoming and the surrounding region. According to the health system, the name was inspired by the expansive sky shared by people across Montana and Wyoming. The organization says it represents the connection between communities that may be separated by long distances but share many of the same needs when it comes to health care. One Sky Health brings together more than 25 hospitals, clinics and regional partnerships, with more than 1,200 physicians and advanced practitioners covering more than 85 medical and surgical specialties. That network includes the region's first Level I Trauma Center, air ambulance services, specialized complex care and clinical training programs. CEO Clint Seger, MD, said the goal is to build a health system that understands the communities it serves while making it easier for patients to access care, whether that's close to

Billings budget panel rejects superintendent pay raise plan

Billings, Montana — A Billings school budget committee declined to recommend a contract proposal that would have sharply raised Superintendent Erwin Garcia's pay Thursday, Nov. 12. The proposal would have raised Garcia's base salary from about $217,000 to $270,000. With another $20,000 in annual compensation, his pay would have reached $290,000 before other benefits. The plan also included keeping Garcia in the job through June 2030. Critics questioned the size of the increase and raised concerns about fairness to other employees and the district's spending priorities. In the written proposal, the board said keeping Garcia would provide stable leadership and help the district stay competitive when hiring administrators. One school employee said the proposal sent a message to staff. "I don't say that I love my job anymore. I don't say it because decisions like this make me feel like this district doesn't care very much about me, and it's really hard to love a place like that," said Beth Verlanic, secretary at Burlington Elementary School. A retired school employee said the debate looked familiar. "This is what happens. Failed levee, angry staff. Repeat, repeat, repeat. If this were a class, we'd be figuring out a different way to run

Riverstone Health warns of potential measles exposure at Billings hospital

BILLINGS, Mont. - A person who was at Intermountain Health St. Vincent Regional Hospital on Sunday was confirmed to have tested positive for measles, according to RiverStone Health, potentially exposing others who were in the hospital lobby elevators. RiverStone Health said the individual is not a resident of Yellowstone County. "Out of an abundance caution, anyone who used the hospital's front main lobby elevators between 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, is asked to contact RiverStone Health Public Health at 406.247.3305," RiverStone Health said. Anyone who is immune to measles is not a risk, according to the health agency. "Those who were in this area and are not immune can receive the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) by 9:40 p.m. on November 11. PEP can help prevent measles or reduce the severity of symptoms," RiverStone Health said. Symptoms of measles can take up to 21 days to appear, according to RiverStone Health, and include runny nose, fever, rash, watery eyes and spots in the mouth. "People who are vaccinated can still become infected with the disease after exposure, although this is uncommon," RiverStone Health said. "When it occurs, symptoms are typically milder."

New study highlights how Billings nonprofit is strengthening veteran suicide prevention efforts

BILLINGS, Mont. — For veterans struggling with their mental health, having someone recognize when something is wrong can be an important first step toward getting support. At the Adaptive Performance Center (APC) , a Montana nonprofit with locations in Billings and Helena, a new case study is showing promising early results from training designed to help employees recognize signs of emotional distress, start difficult conversations and connect veterans with additional resources before a situation becomes a crisis. The center partnered with the national nonprofit Give an Hour earlier this year to participate in its Veteran MILE training , an initiative focused on building mental health awareness and peer-support skills. The newly released case study, APC Vets Case Study: From Individual Skills to Organizational Capacity , looks at how that training is being put into practice and what it could mean for the veterans APC serves. For Jaclyn Colebank, a veteran who first came to APC seeking support for her own mental health, the training has given her new tools to connect with others. “It gave me other skills and other tools to really learn how to listen and connect with other people,” Colebank said. Now working as both a trainer

Billings Career Center opens doors to healthcare careers for high school students

BILLINGS, Mont. — For some Billings high school students, preparing for a career in healthcare means getting out of the classroom and gaining real-world experience before they even graduate. Through the Billings Career Center’s Health Sciences Program, students are working toward certifications that could allow them to enter the healthcare workforce while still in high school, helping prepare the next generation of caregivers as Montana faces a continued need for healthcare workers. At Edgewood Billings, a local memory care facility, students in the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program are getting firsthand experience working with residents and learning what it takes to care for others. For Billings Career Center junior Allie Treese, the opportunity is helping her explore a potential career path while gaining skills she can carry into the future. “It really sets you up for the future, I think, and kind of gives you that idea of what it’s going to look like, you know, in the real world,” Treese said. The program gives students the opportunity to work toward their CNA certification before graduating, allowing them to gain experience and potentially begin working in healthcare while continuing their education. For senior Hannah Berg, the experience has also shown
