Hospitals talk a lot about community benefit. This is what it looks like in action:

Beyond the life-saving work Bozeman Health's care teams do every day to support the health of residents and visitors in Southwest Montana, the health system is also putting its land to higher use: supporting Montana agriculture, preserving open space, and opening its private property to public access so more folks can experience the healing power of nature.

What makes it even more meaningful are the partnerships behind it: local trails and recreation experts, farmers, ranchers, researchers, and neighbors who know how to steward land and relationships for the long term. It’s a powerful reminder that community health is built in many places - not just inside hospital walls.

Impressed, but not surprised, that Ducks Unlimited selected Four Flyways Outfitters to help them share more about the Emperor Goose's unique conservation journey. Such a special goose with its world population supported by the unique habitat and resources of the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.

Come connect with good folks and celebrate rural Montana! ❤️🐜🍻 Red Ants Pants Music Festival

08/05/2023

Another impactful festival in the books…for me, this image captures not only a special moment encouraging unity and patriotism inspired by the The War and Treaty, but also encapsulates the greater meaning and community achieved through our coming together and celebration of the shared value of music. Proud to support the work of the Red Ants Pants Foundation and encouraged by the resulting programmatic outcomes of hope and strength.

Captivated by this moment as The War and Treaty spontaneously shared a heart-stopping rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" and we all turned our eyes to the American flag following Michael Trotter's moving speech encouraging us to reflect on and uplift the united togetherness in the intent of the United States of America. 🇺🇸❤️🐜
