Us.

St. Vincent Healthcare is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 286-bed level II trauma center has provided care in Montana and the surrounding area since 1898, and our 30-clinic network ensures community needs are met.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage.
