"Telemedicine is one of the most intuitive and effective ways to connect rural communities with the nurses, physicians, and healthcare providers they need," Tester said. "So I am doing all I can to make sure Montana’s medical centers have the capabilities to utilize this technology and reach rural residents directly."

This grant will go towards purchasing telemedicine-enabled toolkits for Marias Medical Center in Shelby, Pondera Medical Center in Conrad, Northern Rockies Medical Center in Cut Bank, and Eureka Health Prompt Care in Eureka.
