About Benefis
Nationally Ranked, with Care Close to Home
Benefis Health System serves about 230,000 residents in a vast, 14-county region. But we never forget that the best care is personal, and we treat each patient as we would a friend or family member. We’re here to help you live the best life possible.
A History of Quality
Benefis understands that in a rural state like Montana, state-of-the-art care delivered with kindness and compassion is especially important. We serve a vast region of Montana, with our service area extending across 38,000 square miles and our community-based outreach services present in 94 percent of Montana’s counties.
Benefis was founded in 1996 when two hospitals combined to form a not-for-profit health system with the goal of providing excellent care to all in need. Today, our system includes 220 inpatient hospital beds in Great Falls; numerous outpatient clinics; almost 350 employed providers; more than 200 long-term care and assisted living units; two of Montana’s essential rural critical access hospitals; and many other services that improve the health of our community.
At Benefis, more than $400 million has been invested in new facilities and related technology since 2004. With each investment we make, we continue to prioritize world class facilities, technology, and most of all, high-quality care.
National Recognition
We are committed to being the best health system in Montana, and it shows. Benefis has received various awards from leading rating organizations, and we surpass national standards in areas such as coronary procedures, stroke care, and pulmonary care, according to Healthgrades.
