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.

Flu cases are surging both nationwide and in Montana, leading to an increase in hospitalizations. It's not too late to protect yourself with a flu shot! A flu shot may prevent you from getting the virus, and it can reduce the severity of illness for those who do get the flu. Reach out to your provider or call us at 406-622-5485 to get your shot if you haven't already.

If you find yourself with the following symptoms, you might have the flu:
🤧 A runny or congested nose.
🤒 Fever or chills.
😷 Cough or sore throat.
🤕 Body aches and fatigue.
The flu is usually treatable at home. Here are a few tips to help ease your symptoms:
💤 Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated.
💊 Over-the-counter medications can help ease discomfort.
🍵 Warm liquids and soups might soothe a sore throat.

Let's keep our community healthy and safe. Learn more: https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance/2025-week-52.html

Montana winters mean long nights and short days. If you have noticed significant changes in your mood and behavior when the seasons change, you may be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, SAD can often be treated with light therapy, counseling, medication, and vitamin D.
