We’ve been really active on the local, state and national levels. That amount of work has brought plenty of opportunities to be wrong and we haven’t been able to avoid them all. One of the biggest times that I was wrong was on Medicaid Expansion during the 2015 legislative session. NAMI Montana fully supported Medicaid Expansion...
This past week was transmittal week for the Legislature, which is kind of like spring break for Senators.

The goal of the event is to expose the Hill County community to different health care services and health care fields. Health in the Hi-Line is scheduled for Thursday, March...
