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.

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.Blue Mountain Clinic advocates for its clients, community and region in the following areas:We are starting our 8th 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. Dr. Eric Ravitz has served as the Medical Director for the Missoula Youth Homes for the past 12 years. The Youth Homes provide transitional and long-term housing and services to Montanas youth- from all over the state. Having Dr. Ravitz as their medical director enables them to offer a mental health component ensuring the whole health and safety of our most vulnerable populations.We recently completed a much-needed expansion to our current location. This expansion and reconfiguration of space has given us 3 additional exam rooms, an expanded in-house lab, larger waiting room, and a separate room off the waiting room for patients who are need of a private place to have discussions related to their healthcare. On the newly added second floor, we gained 6 offices for clinicians and administrative staff and a conference room to host meetings, trainings, and enTRUST YOUth board meetings. 1636497 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 26 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 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 darci thorsrud Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 darcey fairchild Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 tom roberts Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATIE DUBOSQUE Director/Staff 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KAT WERNER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK SHEEHY 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 HOLLY BIEHL Vice President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNIE HANSEN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 55173 0 0 ERIC A RAVITZ STAFF 40.00 0.00 X 141367 0 0 JOEY BANKS STAFF 40.00 0.00 X 150962 0 0 347502 2 false true false 0 996312 996312 HEALTH CARE DELIVERY 621110 1536723 1536723 1536723 1600 1600 0 0 0 59436 65901 -6465 -6465 -6465 15880 15880 15880 0 0 0 2544050 1530258 17480 0 0 0 0 55173 41380 13793 0 960782 816665 96078 48039 32672 24504 8168 37643 28232 9411 74977 56233 18744 0 0 32325 32325 0 0 0 0 7718 7718 3375 2194 1012 169 34691 29487 3469 1735 0 64972 62424 1911 637 610 610 0 0 7782 7782 0 30771 26155 3077 1539 59143 47164 11979 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 258882 258882 ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS 98230 98230 LAB SUPPLIES 49019 49019 CONTRACTED SERVICES 29894 28590 1304 114508 92608 8109 13791 1953167 1636497 236967 79703 4326 11137 167499 150543 112200 77532 79637 0 0 0 5000 5000 0 2189478 721870 514136 1467608 40644 0 0 0 0 0 809137 1826125 78731 132412 36485 73161 482070 188377 614482 X 620760 1211643 620760 1211643 809137 1826125 590883 X false false false X 102063 180234 191239 320280 996312 1790128 1480175 1636874 1644953 1594377 1536723 7893102 0 0 0 1582238 1817108 1836192 1914657 2533035 9683230 72000 151000 118000 223117 874502 1438619 0 72000 151000 118000 223117 874502 1438619 8244611 -20 46 98 610 1599 2333 0 -20 46 98 610 1599 2333 0 0 1582218 1817154 1836290 1915267 2534634 9685563 0.85120 0.92500 0.00020 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 79989 79989 1851985 494228 1357757 232871 213437 19434 24633 14205 10428 1467608 false CROSS COUNTRY BENEFIT 15880 15880 15880 15880 15880 false false false false false false false false false false JOEY BANKS STAFF 150962 150962 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process THE CURRENT BOARD TREASURER REVIEWS THE 990 IN DETAIL WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
