Montana employee health clinic opens this week

The Schweitzer administration’s new health clinic for state employees will open Friday in Helena, offering online appointments and office visits at no charge to covered employees and their dependents.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer also confirmed last week that his administration hopes to open two more clinics to serve state employees in other cities, possibly in Billings, Missoula or Bozeman.

"This is a model that’s being used by private enterprise all over America," he said. "What corporate America has found is that when you have your own health care facility, and the physicians, the nurse practitioners are paid a salary, not a piece of the action, or aren’t paid for how many procedures they can gin up, you actually get better health care … and it saves money."
