Located at 610 N California Street in Missoula, MT, we are the only independent, non-government funded primary and family medicine clinic in the United States that has fully integrated family medicine, mental health counseling, abortion care, and comprehensive trans* care into our daily practice. We are not subsidized by any government money, are not a title X organization and do not offer a sliding fee scale for services. Because of this we are not eligible for many programs that offer amenities such as discounted birth control, sliding scales and large government grants. While such programs can be beneficial, we have always held the belief that we do not want federal regulations to influence how we care for our patients. This status does allow us to have complete autonomy in how we provide care while staying committed to our mission. BMC directly impacts the lives of over 10,000 patients per year who access a wide range of health services within our choice-based, primary medicine model. This is evidenced by the fact that 25% of our clients are traveling 100 miles or more to receive care at BMC. Since 2013 the demand for our care has increased by almost 30%. Blue Mountain Clinic is called upon daily by those who need care for their families, at an ever-increasing rate. This is a direct reflection of changes in our current healthcare environment; expanded services at BMC, lack of access due to clinic closures both in our region, and across the state, the retirement of several local family medicine doctors, anti-choice legislation, and most recently the expansion of Medicaid programs in Montana.In addition to our primary and reproductive care clients, we have been providing care to transgender patients throughout the Northern Rockies for over 16 years. In 2012, after receiving a grant from the Pride Foundation, we further strengthened our Trans* care through training, advocacy and marketing. Because of these trainings we have more than quadrupled the number of trans* identified patients we care for ranging in age from 9 to 72 years old. Per the US Census Bureau, Montana and the Northern Rockies are home to some of the least populated regions, resulting in a large concentration of rural areas. These sparsely populated areas often result in very limited access to many of lifes necessities, including health care. Reports released by the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Family Physicians indicate that we will continue to experience a critical shortage of family medicine clinicians and clinics. The shortage is due in part to retiring physicians as well as a recent trend emerging where providers are choosing specialty areas of medicine over family medicine because they offer much higher salaries. In a report released by the Montana Office of Rural Health (MORH) a serious shortage of primary care physician services is cited in Montana. The distribution of physicians in Montana is extremely uneven, with 37% of all primary care physicians practicing in only three cities and 40 of Montana's 56 counties are designated health professional shortage areas. As we witness these changes and prepare for great uncertainty in the landscape of our healthcare both regionally and nationally, it is of the utmost importance that we remain a sound presence to ensure access to independent, choice-based health care that respects the power of personal connection.We are starting our 9th year providing critical gynecological training to residents in the Western Montana Family Medicine Residency Program. We train 10 residents a year preparing them to provide comprehensive reproductive and family medicine through our choice-based lens. We are striving to ensure these residents will continue to practice and provide care filling the need for healthcare in our rural areas, many of which Blue Mountain Clinic currently serves. 1681555 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 28 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X BLUE MOUNTAIN CLINIC 4067211646 610 N CALIFORNIA ST MISSOULA MT 59802 ERIC A RAVITZ STAFF 40.00 0.00 144264 0 0 ANNIE HANSEN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 43453 0 0 darci thorsrud Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 darcey fairchild Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY BIEHL Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 juniper davis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 vasa parsons Director/Staff 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 montana james Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAIME WARD Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 elizabeth HUBBLE President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 tom roberts Vice President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 187717 1 false false false 0 25780 521413 547193 HEALTH CARE DELIVERY 621110 1559518 1559518 1559518 130 130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISC.
