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.

The Montana Department of Labor and Industry recently launched a new portal http://www.mtworkerhealth.com to provide information on workplace health and safety in an effort to make Montana’s workplaces more safe.

"The goal of [the department] continues to be making sure our workforce comes home safely every day after their shifts end," said Julia Brennan, Epidemiologist for the Department of Labor and Industry. "Although, Montana’s occupational injury and illness rates slowly but steadily continue to improve, we still have plenty of work ahead to keep the workforce safe."
