Intermountain Health expands OBGYN program in Billings amid growing national shortage. Posted 1 hour and 0 minutes ago BILLINGS, Mont. - A growing national shortage of OBGYNs is putting pressure on maternity care across the country, and Montana is among the states feeling the strain. In Billings, Intermountain Health is expanding its services and investing in women's care. In the heart of that effort is Julianna Papez, Intermountain Health's OBGYN program medical director - and for her, the work is personal. Watch the full story below: Papez was born at St. Vincent Regional Hospital and has now returned to help lead Intermountain Health's new OBGYN practice. "We can create a truly all-encompassing women's health care within our community and in one spot," Papez said Wednesday. But building that kind of care takes people - and right now, OBGYNs are in short supply across the country. "OBGYN is just a really challenging specialty because it is so demanding. There always has to be someone available to see patients in the clinic," Papez said. The National Institutes of Health says in less than 10 years, all but a handful of states will experience inadequate OBGYN workforces. Montana could be one of them. Papez says the goal is to give women consistent care throughout their pregnancies and beyond. "Our goal with this program will be to be able to be there for these women during their pregnancies to get early care and stable, continuous care throughout their pregnancy and postpartum as well too," Papez said. But recruiting doctors to a rural state like Montana isn't easy. On Billings' West End, many women turn to Billings OBGYN Associates, a private practice already feeling the impact of the shortage. The practice recently took to social media to reassure patients that, despite ongoing shortages and rumors, it is not closing. But CEO Rob Harding says recruiting new doctors has been a challenge - and that could soon affect expecting mothers. Unless the practice can hire another OB, it will stop accepting new OB patients after March 31. "It still is a rural community, and it can be very challenging to recruit physicians to a rural community and keep them here as well," Papez said. Misty Parris, medical group vice president of operations at Intermountain Health, says she sees people coming out of residencies and fellowships, but not enough OBGYNs. "Not as many OB docs are coming out of those schools now," Parris said. Still, Parris believes Billings has a lot to offer and says Intermountain is casting a wide net to find talent. "We have a full service of recruiters that are out and about looking and recruiting, able to go to different conferences to ensure that our need is out there," Parris said. Intermountain is looking to fill 15 positions total - 10 physicians and 5 advanced practice providers, which include nurse practitioners and physician assistants. "APP is a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. And so we're looking for about 10 physicians and five APPs to come on board," Parris said. The expansion is aimed at keeping women's health care accessible in Billings. "It's important for us to ensure we have the access to care so that our patients can get that critical need of care that they need," Parris said.
NGHS' Green Tower on Gainesville hospital campus wins global design award. Tuesday, September 29th, 2026 Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) opened a new wing on its Gainesville, Georgia, hospital campus - one of Metro Atlanta's largest hospitals - in early 2025, and that project was recently ranked second in the world by Interior Design, a leading global authority in architecture and design. Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Gainesville's Green Tower was one of the honorees in Interior Design's 20th-Annual Best of Year Awards for 2025. Also earning honors in the Large Healthcare Projects category were City of Hope's Hope Plaza in Duarte, California, and Intermountain Children's Health's Primary Children's Hospital in Lehi, Utah. "This project was a total team effort, because good design in health care goes far beyond aesthetics," said John Kueven, chief operating officer for NGHS and president of NGMC Gainesville. "It's about how well a space supports care. And this award highlights the thoughtful planning behind the Green Tower and the impact that planning has on both patients and staff." NGMC's Green Tower was designed by the Atlanta studio of Perkins&Will, a nationally acclaimed healthcare design firm. NGHS and Perkins&Will have partnered on a number of other projects across the health system. "This was a highly collaborative design process with significant input from staff and physicians," said Richard Herring, regional healthcare practice leader for Perkins&Will. "The process included both virtual and physical simulation tools that ranged from gaming boards to 40,000 square-foot, life-size mockups to optimize operational efficiency, patient safety and clinical outcomes." The 927,000-square-foot, 11-story Green Tower opened Feb. 8, was designed during the COVID-19 pandemic and features many cutting edge innovations for future pandemic preparedness and disaster resilience. The project features a new emergency department with specialized areas for trauma, resuscitation, minor care, behavioral health and pediatrics, plus a rooftop helipad with direct elevator access to critical care areas. The first floor houses Georgia Heart Institute services, including cardiac testing, catheterization labs and endovascular operating rooms, along with a modern, bright and spacious café for visitors. The second floor added five operating rooms and the Ronnie Green Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. The third floor is for mechanical systems, while the fourth and fifth floors include coronary care, cardiovascular intermediate care and the Woody Stewart Heart Failure Treatment Unit. Floors six through nine were built for expansion in future years, but the need is already here as work to add 48 beds on levels seven and eight has begun.

Intermountain Health opens physical-therapy clinic Sept. 28. The new Intermountain Health Matchett Park Clinic will open Sept. 28, expanding access to physical therapy, rehabilitation and wellness services on the Western Slope. Matchett Park Clinic is located inside the new Grand Junction Community Recreation Center, 2836 Recreation Way. The clinic offers physical therapy and rehabilitation, including aquatic therapy, primary care and orthopedic-related rehabilitation services. "The clinic is designed to connect healthcare and wellness in one location, allowing patients to continue their recovery and fitness journey in a community recreation setting," said Bryan Johnson, Intermountain Health Western Colorado market president. "It represents our vision for a healthier community, where people have the resources and support they need to live their best lives." Within the physical therapy and rehabilitation services, therapists will focus on recovery after surgery, injury rehabilitation, pain management, strength and mobility improvement, and helping people return to everyday activities. "Movement is medicine. Our partnership with the CRC creates a natural bridge between physical therapy and lifelong wellness, allowing patients to transition into active, healthy lifestyles with confidence and support," said Tom O'Donnell, manager of Rehab Services for Intermountain Health. "After completing their therapy, patients can continue exercising and building strength using the recreation center's facilities or another gym of their choice." Primary-care services offered at the clinic will focus on wellness rather than acute patient needs. People will visit for wellness exams, sports physicals and annual vaccines. Intermountain Health St. Mary's Regional Hospital is the official health and wellness partner of the Grand Junction Community Recreation Center. As part of the partnership, St. Mary's will offer free wellness classes and educational programs to help people stay active, prevent injuries and make informed health decisions.

Three cranes mark new era. By Evelyn Pyburn In Billings, it has always been noteworthy and head- turning, to have a towering crane involved in a construction project - but to have THREE! involved in three different projects, now that it seriously noteworthy. And, it must surely be making some kind of a statement about Billings. St. Johns United most recently announced the initiation of a unique high rise community, Centrum, that will serve those in their retirement years and in need of regular health care; and all summer, downtowners have been watching the construction of the long awaited AC Hotel by Marriott, and of course who hasn't noticed the amazing emergence of Intermountain Health's new St. Vincent Regional Hospital along North 27th Street? Each of these projects involves the use of a crane, and not only is that noteworthy, as one gentleman pointed out, it marks a subtle advancement in the growth and strength of the Billings economy. Billings is entering a new era. As Todd O'Hair, CEO of the Montana Chamber of Commerce, recently pointed out, "Yellowstone County is Montana's most industrial segment in the entire state." That these projects involve both health care and hospitality, should also not be surprising - both were identified as significant factors to the Yellowstone County economy by Dr. Jeffry Michael, Director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana, in a recent report on the local economy - not to mention agriculture, mining, refining and of course construction. Growth in one segment often generates growth in others, and even if it seems slow that incremental increase builds and soon impacts every industry segment. And, so it is, the appearance of these three cranes are significant. St. John's United only recently launched the ground breaking of The Centrum, a new community center that includes a housing initiative, Aeries, and healthcare developed for older adults. The new concept incorporates housing options with new building methods, and a long-term commitment to supporting people across generations. Located at St. John's Westend Legacy Campus, 2701 Shiloh Road, Aeries will be a 12- story tower featuring 101 residences ranging from 849 to nearly 3,000 square feet, with a choice of 18-plus unique floor plans, high ceilings, three-season patios and exterior balconies, and modern finishes. Residents will enjoy thoughtfully designed residences, gourmet dining, wellness programs, and personalized services, whether that includes on-site primary care, therapy, or home health services. Also offered will be wellness activities, crafted to help residents to live life to the fullest. Even though construction is just beginning the crane is in place. The building of a magnificent new hotel, the AC Hotel by Marriott, at the corner of Second Avenue North and North 27th will bring a whole new dimension and look to downtown Billings. Local leaders and developers see the project as a catalyst for economic growth. Designed by A&E Design, the hotel will stand seven stories high and feature a modern, metropolitan design. Work began earlier this year, and the tower crane is now on site to enable the handling of materials and vertical construction in a tight space. Codevelopers Bill Honaker and Donald Cape of JWT Capital say the hotel will have 135 guest rooms plus restaurants, a bar, and retail space. The ground floor will feature seven stores, a bar, and AC Kitchen, while the upper floors will include Vero Tavern. Plans also call for a rooftop restaurant and bar. Developers say the hotel remains on track for a projected opening in late 2027 or early 2028. Over a year ago, Intermountain Health's St. Vincent Regional Hospital broke ground on the construction of a $1 billion, 14-story, 737,000-square-foot facility at 27th Street and 12th Avenue North, just east of the current hospital building. A year later an enormous crane soars over 27th Street as the towering walls go up. The hospital will replace the current facility. It is certainly a significant addition to the advancing health care industry in Billings, which is often cited as the community's most significant industry. According to Intermountain Health, the decision to replace the current facility was made to address aging infrastructure and create a modern, efficient hospital capable of adapting to evolving healthcare demands. The new Intermountain St. Vincent Regional Hospital is a "once-in-a-generation" investment in the health of the Billings community and region. The new hospital is designed to address current patient needs while accommodating long-term population growth and future healthcare demands. It will feature 243 patient beds, with space for 16 additional beds when needed. All rooms are universal and convertible to ICU-level care, allowing the hospital to respond to changing demands and future pandemics. Operating rooms are designed for adaptability, supporting the latest and future developments in robotic surgical technology, and will be fully integrated for efficient care. The project is expected to have a substantial economic impact, with up to 700 workers on site at the peak of construction and 1,200 total workers involved. An additional 500 local jobs are anticipated to support the workforce and project, contributing to sustained economic growth in the region. A "topping off" event is anticipated in February 2027. Construction of the new facility is expected to be completed in 2029.
