Medicaid ensures local access to health care

| February 13, 2025 12:00 AM

Our local legislators are in Helena debating the future of Montana’s Medicaid program. Montana Medicaid doesn’t only provide access to essential care to the thousands of Montanans on the program, it also ensures local access to care for all residents in the communities we serve.

St. Luke Community Healthcare is the heart of healthcare in the Mission Valley. We have proudly cared for patients across this valley since 1953.  We have worked hard to continually improve the quality of care we deliver and have expanded services to become the largest provider of healthcare services in the valley.

The current Medicaid program has been incredibly important in allowing St. Luke to keep quality care close to home. Not only has it helped reduce uncompensated care costs across Montana, but without the current coverage under Medicaid there would be a $4.5-to-$6-million-dollar reduction in reimbursement at St. Luke Community Healthcare.
