The Montana Healthcare Foundation released its third annual report on the Montana Medicaid program and its impact on the state’s budget, economy, and health. The report found that Medicaid expansion enrollees had fewer visits to the ER each year they were enrolled in Medicaid. This year’s analysis also showed that with these better health outcomes, the healthcare costs for expansion enrollees declined each year they had coverage – and perhaps more importantly, how healthcare spending patterns for enrollees changed over time. “Medicaid coverag...
Together with Charlie Brereton, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS), Governor Greg Gianforte announced a $2.1 million investment to increase access to universal screening for mental health and substance use issues among young Montanans. “No young Montanan struggling with their mental health is alone,” Governor Gianforte said. “By investing in voluntary universal mental health screening in our schools, we can get young Montanans the help they need, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, and build...

Rocky Mountain Bank wants to help you keep your accounts safe by keeping you informed of current scams. There is a current fraud trend where scammers pose as Rocky Mountain Bank using our phone numbers. The caller then asks the customer to verify a fake transaction and provide their debit card number. In further conversation, the caller then obtains online banking credentials and gains remote access to the online banking account. Spoofing and bank impersonation scams impact many banks across the US, and we have received reports of bad actors...
Breakfast is often described as the most important meal of the day. After a period of sleep when nothing is consumed, breakfast does just what its name implies: breaks the fast.

Whether feeding a family or a crowd, this Egg in a Hole Bagel recipe can be prepared quickly and assembled on one baking sheet. Try this eggceptional meal, courtesy of The Incred...
We have reached the seventh and final day of the Happiness Challenge! Congratulations on your efforts to take care of your emotional, psychological, and physical health by building and strengthening your connections. You’ve assessed your social universe, made an eight-minute phone call (or two), chatted up someone you didn’t know, expressed your thanks, reached out to people at work, and put plans on the calendar. Now that we have the tools to improve our “social fitness,” the work of sustain...
It can be all too easy, especially when we aren’t feeling well, to harbor negative beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about our bodies. We may feel frustrated, betrayed, hopeless, angry, or even hateful about what we are physically experiencing. We wonder what we did to deserve this, what we did wrong, or why our body can’t just cooperate and do what it’s supposed to. I used to think many of these things myself, and I’ve heard them from many others as well! But as I’ve studied, traveled the path...

FEBRUARY 18, 1997 Plagued by low gold prices and expansion permit uncertainty, Golden Sunlight Mine (GSM) instituted a series of steps designed to reduce costs throughout the mine’s operation. GSM was directed by its parent company in Vancouver, Placer Dome North America, to cut costs. All three Placer Dome mines in the U.S. received a similar directive to reduce costs. The price of gold was hovering around $300 an ounce, which was well below the price GSM needed to be profitable. After over a year of mine site preparation and months of e...

The Montana Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit program is a property tax relief program that provides a refundable income tax credit of up to $1,150. This credit is subject to the ARPA Savings Clause; therefore, if the savings clause is triggered, the credit will revert to the previous maximum of $1,000. For 2022, however, the clause was not triggered, thereby assuring that the new maximum will be in effect for this year. Elderly Montana homeowners or renters (age 62 or older) may qualify for this credit even if they do not have to file an income...
Everyone has his or her own idea of comfort food. For some, it is biting into a piping-hot slice of pepperoni pizza. Others can't get enough of a hearty bowl of beef stew. Snack foods also can be categorized as comfort foods and potato chips (or crisps as they're known across the pond) are no exception. Potato chips come in different flavors and cuts, including crinkle and kettle chips. While it's easy to pick up a bag at the store, why not whip up a fresh batch right at home? You will have...
Predicting how a future event will make us feel is known in psychology as affective forecasting - and most human beings are pretty lousy at it. "People are terrible at knowing what is good for them," said Dr. Bob Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, "and we seem particularly bad at forecasting the benefits of relationships." It can be tempting to just stay home rather than socialize, said Dr. Waldinger, who is an author of the new book "The Good Life." "We'll think,...
Experiencing pain in some form is a fact of life on earth. Unfortunately, many people experience chronic daily pain and come to accept it as part of the “human condition.” But have you ever asked yourself why we experience pain? Pain is a teacher. It comes when we need to make a change, whether it be physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or relationally. Some of us avoid pain by silencing it or covering it, and some of us surrender to it as our forever reality. When we take these act...
