Stockman Bank Donates $50,000 to Rural Health Care Fund

Billings, MT— Through the tremendous generosity of Stockman Bank, the Billings Clinic Foundation has received an additional $50,000 to the Stockman Bank Rural Health Care Endowment Fund, which supports health care in rural Montana communities.

“Stockman Bank has consistently demonstrated its dedication to the communities it serves. We are deeply thankful for their ongoing support and steadfast commitment to rural health care,” said Nichole Mehling, President of the Billings Clinic Foundation. “Their generous contribution plays a vital role in ensuring that patients in rural areas can access the care they need close to home.”

Established in 1999, the Stockman Bank Rural Health Care Endowment Fund helps protect the financial wellbeing of rural health care organizations within the Billings Clinic Health System and supports families in accessing care close to home. Previous contributions from Stockman Bank have helped purchase medical equipment for women’s health services and secure new fetal monitors for Billings Clinic Miles City, among other vital investments.

“Access to health care in a large, rural state like Montana can be challenging,” said Bill Coffee, CEO of Stockman Bank. “Montana is built on strong, vibrant, healthy communities. We remain committed to ensuring our rural communities have convenient access to the healthcare services they need.”
