Intermountain Health to cut services in Montana, others could face same financial strain. One of the largest healthcare systems in Montana announced last week that it plans to shutter a clinic and scale back services at four others in what industry experts described as a telling sign of how federal and state policy changes might impact other providers. Intermountain Health will close its Lewistown family medicine clinic on July 24 and lay off six employees there. The Utah-based nonprofit will eliminate 35 additional Montana jobs in June, affecting operations at four sites in Billings and Bozeman. In a statement, Intermountain Health leadership said the organization is committed to providing high quality care in Montana and suggested that the cuts were brought on by the high costs, dwindling profit margins and unpredictability that now characterize healthcare. People are also reading... "To maintain that commitment and strengthen long-term financial sustainability in an increasingly volatile healthcare industry, we made difficult decisions that will impact a small number of medical clinics and allow caregivers whose roles are impacted to apply for other open positions in the organization," they wrote. Providing healthcare in rural places like Montana has always been difficult with operating costs outpacing the revenues generated by small patient populations. The Legislature's decision in 2015 to expand Medicaid to low-income earners helped close that gap, but the relative stability hospitals have since enjoyed is now at risk as the federal government targets public assistance programs as a way to curb spending. Changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act marketplace, in particular, have led to fewer people having sufficient healthcare coverage, which pushes costs onto providers operating at narrow margins. "If you're a hospital and you're seeing patients then you need to be paid for the work you're doing and insurance is what pays for it," said Aaron Wernham, chief executive officer of the Montana Healthcare Foundation. "If people are losing insurance coverage, you're still seeing the patients but you're not getting paid for it. Hard to run a business that way." Intermountain Health wouldn't disclose further details on its financial picture, but multiple healthcare professionals said they anticipate other organizations across the industry will navigate similar struggles, if they aren't already, given the headwinds they face. PacificSource, one of three companies that sells insurance plans on the marketplace, announced last week it would be exiting the Montana market entirely at the end of the year, citing volatility. "Going into these new shifts in the policy environment, hospitals were already experiencing a lot of financial strain and challenges," said Katy Mack, spokesperson for the Montana Hospital Association. "Then you layer on the changes... and it has the potential to create even further strain." 'Canary in the coal mine' On July 1, Montana will become the second state to roll out Medicaid work requirements, doing so six months ahead of the federal deadline written into the Trump White House's behemoth budget bill from last summer and separately codified in state law. Those changes will hit as Medicaid enrollment in the state is at its lowest point in about a decade, largely driven by the post-pandemic redetermination process that left many without health insurance because of procedural errors. Plenty have suggested that the state health department hasn't corrected for those past problems and will crack under the paperwork surge that's bound to accompany the new eligibility standards. Montana's health department says it's hiring staff to handle the added workload, while skeptics say redetermination will repeat itself and people who are eligible for Medicaid will lose it. Fewer people enrolled in Medicaid means reduced revenues for healthcare providers, who already operate at a deficit when treating Medicaid patients because the reimbursement rates they receive from the state don't cover the cost of care. "Work requirements will likely lead to additional coverage losses," Wernham said. "We don't know how large those coverage losses will be. It depends tremendously on how good a job the state does identifying people who should be exempt from those requirements." For all the uncertainty that's ahead, hospitals don't have to wait until this summer to glean how policy changes can hit their budgets. When Congress chose not to renew the pandemic-era enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, fewer people purchased insurance there, too, and hospitals started seeing more uninsured patients come through their doors. "That is the canary in the coal mine for healthcare providers," Mack said. "It's an early indicator of the financial viability of an organization if those uninsured patients are going to translate into higher amounts of charity care." In the case of Intermountain Health's latest cuts, the communities that will be hardest hit have other providers that might be able to step into the void. That's not the case everywhere, but especially not in Montana's most remote corners where the nearest doctor might be an hour's drive away. "Any time a provider has to make the difficult decision to pull out of a community, it will have impacts on patient access," Mack said. The Trump Administration touts its hallmark health initiative that will put $50 billion into rural hospitals and providers over the next five years as a safeguard against deeper cuts to small, struggling hospitals that will be hardest hit by Medicaid changes. Montana stands to be one of the biggest winners in the Rural Health Transformation Program sweepstakes, projected to receive more than $1 billion in the five-year window, but industry professionals in the state still suspect the effort won't make up for the losses coming their way. "You can't get very far if you don't have gas in your car," Wernham said. "You can't run a hospital in the long term if you don't have a source of reimbursement for the services you're trying to provide." Carly Graf has worked for the Montana State News Bureau since 2023.

SEG, Intermountain Health announce sports medicine center at South Town in Sandy. by Megan Brugger, KUTV Wed, May 13, 2026 at 7:48 PM Smith Entertainment Group and Intermountain Health announced a partnership and the creation of a sports medicine center at The Shops at South Town. (Photo: KUTV) SANDY, Utah (KUTV) - Smith Entertainment Group and Intermountain Health announced a partnership and the creation of a sports medicine center at The Shops at South Town. The "first-of-its-kind campus" will combine NBA and NHL practice facilities with the medicine center. "Scheduled to open in 2028, the Intermountain Health Sports Performance Center will be strategically located adjacent to the Utah Mammoth Ice Center and the future Utah Jazz practice facility," a press release states. "This will be the only sports and health campus in the NBA and NHL with two teams under a single ownership group and a single healthcare provider, creating a fully integrated destination for high performance athletes and active individuals seeking advanced recovery, wellness, and innovative care." The center will reportedly expand access to "cutting-edge performance technology, advanced training methodologies, and industry-leading sports medicine services" significantly. It will also offer clinical services such as primary care, sports medicine, orthopedics, physical medicine, rehabilitation, sports performance science, performance therapy, advanced diagnostics, and an orthopedic ambulatory surgery center. "Designed to serve people at every level - from professional athletes to youth competitors to active community members - the center will further establish Utah as a global destination for sport, performance innovation, and community health," the press release states. Ryan Smith, chairman and CEO of Smith Entertainment Group said that "having a single ownership group and a single healthcare provider across both teams will allow us to innovate, share best practices, and build toward the integrated care that is the future and continue to invest in proactive care, health, and longevity for our teams and the community." "Partnering with Intermountain Health on this campus is one more important step in creating Utah as a destination market for professional athletes and our ability to serve the community at large," he continued. At the center, athletes will reportedly have access to AI-enabled performance insights and movement analysis that connects biomechanics and assesses injury risk, guiding training, recovery, and return-to-play protocols. Intermountain Health will become the official healthcare partner for the Utah Jazz and the Utah Mammoth, beginning July 1, and Select Health will become the exclusive health insurance.

Helmsley Charitable Trust commits $20M to Intermountain Health to expand pediatric behavioral health services in Nevada. LAS VEGAS, May 13, 2026 - The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has committed $20 million to Intermountain Health to expand pediatric behavioral health specialty services in Nevada - one of the largest philanthropic investments of its kind in the state's history. The commitment will support the expansion of world-class pediatric behavioral health services, addressing gaps in access to advanced specialty care within Nevada. This commitment also represents significant progress toward ensuring children receive the care they need within their own community. This collaboration reflects a shared belief between two mission-driven nonprofits: that access to high-quality care should never depend on a family's ZIP code. The Helmsley Charitable Trust has made a sustained, multiyear commitment to strengthening Nevada's healthcare landscape, including prior grants that expanded access to lifesaving ECMO technology, which provides temporary heart and lung support for critically ill patients, across the state. Intermountain Health, recognized nationally for excellence in pediatric care and backed by more than a century of children's hospital expertise, is establishing the groundwork to extend this high standard of healthcare to families in Nevada. This includes a campus with comprehensive world-class services, featuring a 826,600-square-foot standalone children's hospital. Walter Panzirer, a Trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust, announced the $20 million commitment, which will support a comprehensive behavioral health care model that will expand access, improve continuity of care, and deliver evidence-based treatment across the full continuum of pediatric mental health. This commitment will help bring world-class pediatric behavioral healthcare to Nevada, ensuring families can stay together in their community during times of medical crisis. Youth in southern Nevada will benefit from a comprehensive behavioral healthcare system, Panzirer said. The funding will help establish a centralized continuum of care that ensures patient access to top-notch services and practitioners. "Many of our children and adolescents navigate behavioral issues, including anger, anxiety, and depression," Panzirer said. "By providing youth access to equitable and developmentally appropriate services closer to home, Intermountain will strengthen early intervention and reduce reliance on emergency and inpatient care." Building on that commitment, Intermountain leaders emphasized how the funding accelerates the community's momentum to broaden access to advanced pediatric services. "This generous endorsement helps us to further define and amplify a historic moment in time for children's health in Nevada," said David Flood, Chief Development Officer, Intermountain Health, and President, Intermountain Foundation. "Every young person deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life - and today is about very intentionally confronting one of our nation's greatest healthcare challenges, while celebrating the power and hope that's created and made stronger when we work together." This commitment will support Intermountain Foundation's emerging Nevada Campaign for Kids, a historic effort chaired by Bill and Wendy Hornbuckle. The campaign aims to advance Intermountain's broader initiative to build a full continuum of pediatric specialty care across the region. By doing so, Intermountain will help keep families together during times of medical crisis and improve health outcomes. "We're building world-class behavioral health care, supported by our talented caregivers, and built for children today and for generations to come," said Mitch Cloward, Region President, Intermountain Health. "This commitment reflects what's possible when mission-driven organizations work together on behalf of children and families." The Helmsley Charitable Trust aspires to improve lives by supporting exceptional efforts in the U.S. and around the world in health and select place-based initiatives. To date, Helmsley has awarded more than $900 million in grants to support rural health in the Upper Midwest and beyond, as well as in two U.S. Pacific territories. About Intermountain Health Intermountain Health operates medical facilities in Nevada and in five other western states. Intermountain is a nonprofit system of 34 hospitals, approximately 400 clinics, medical groups with some 4,600 employed physicians and advanced care providers, a health plan called Select Health with more than one million members, and other health services. Helping people live the healthiest lives possible, Intermountain is committed to improving community health and is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare by using evidence-based best practices to consistently deliver high-quality outcomes at sustainable costs.
