Exceptional Healthcare for Our Community

Sweet Grass County residents have built a legacy of commitment to community health care. The original hospital and nursing home were built in 1950 and 1965 as separate entities. Individual and group donations were the key to building and operating these facilities. In 1992, the hospital had to close due to challenging financial circumstances. The facility reopened in 1995 in the same location as a nursing home.

In order to reopen the hospital, a major expansion to the nursing home was required. The hospital expansion was financed through a general obligation bond, nursing home reserves, donations from the Sweet Grass Health Care Foundation and a Community Development Block Grant. In 1998 and 2001, expansions also added a rural health clinic and assisted living facility. These expansions were largely funded by medical center reserves, local donations, revenue bonds and a USDA rural development loan.
