Missouri River Medical Center

Missouri River Medical Center Personalized Healthcare, Close to Home Our legacy began in 1892 when five Catholic Sisters opened the Columbus Hospital in Great Falls.

For more than 130 years, Benefis Health System has been a trusted provider of care for northcentral Montana, and we’ve made it our mission to provide excellent care for all, healing body, mind, and spirit. Six years later, a Methodist group opened Deaconess Hospital. The two hospitals merged in 1996 under the new Benefis name, derived using Latin root words “bene” (meaning good) and “fis” (faith). And we have continued to grow throughout the region, ensuring we are able to bring our programs and services to more Montanans. Benefis Health System now serves about 230,000 residents in a vast 14-county region. We are located on three campuses in Great Falls, in Montana’s Capital City of Helena, and in the rural towns of Choteau and Fort Benton. Benefis has more than 500 beds, including long-term and hospice care, and employs more than 300 physicians. We are consistently ranked among America’s top hospitals by the nation’s leading healthcare ratings organizations for a range of services, including cancer care, joint replacement, stroke treatment, wound care, and home health. We are honored to call this part of Montana home, and we never forget that the best care is personal. That’s why we treat each patient as we would a family member or friend.

This support group is open to anyone caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or related dementias — whether you’re a spouse, adult child, or caregiver outside of the family. It offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the caregiving journey. Support groups can help caregivers build coping strategies, prioritize their own physical and emotional well-being, and gain practical tools for caring for loved ones living with dementia.

Topic: Caregiver Resources with special guest speaker Melanie Williams
Time: 3:30 p.m.
Date: Thursday, April 16

1 in 3 adults with diabetes may have chronic kidney disease (CKD), often without knowing it. Because CKD can develop silently, early screening is key to catching it before serious complications like kidney failure or heart disease occur.

If you have diabetes, regular check-ins with your primary care provider can help monitor your kidney health. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider through MyChart or by calling the clinic at 406-622-5485 today to stay on top of your health.

Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your heart and overall health. The American Heart Association recommends adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities twice a week. Even small steps—like walking more and sitting less—can make a big difference in your long-term health.

At Missouri River Medical Center, our primary care providers can help you create a plan to support your heart health and overall wellness.
