Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Companies have long seen the elder-care burden as a productivity problem; the focus has been on helping workers find services for their family members, and then getting the employees back to work. Now, in the first shift in elder-care benefits in years, a few employers are offering elder-care programs aimed at the health and well-being of the workers themselves. By encouraging workers who also have elder-care duties to take better care of themselves, employers hope not only to raise productivity, but to scale down health-care costs.
