The Dec. 9 opening of Big Sky Medical Center has broadly expanded healthcare offerings in Big Sky with its four-bed inpatient unit, six-room emergency department, lab services and MRI. How will its opening impact you and this community?

“This is a historical day, not just for the state, but for the community. To be able to access services that we normally have to go to Bozeman for – that’s a blessing … We’re so lucky that we have a certain affluence in the community. I know that there were big donations from the Yellowstone Club and a few members that donated a half of a million dollars each.”

“I definitely think it’s important to the community because we have a small population, but a lot of medical [incidents] … There’s definitely demand for urgent medical care. [On Dec. 8] there were two different folks who got ambulanced [off Big Sky Resort], pretty much simultaneously.”

“We get to take care of our community members when they’re in need instead of sending them somewhere else … We’ll get to know names and faces and they’ll get to know us as a staff, instead of going to a big, crazy E.R.”
