Community Medical Center

Missoula Community Medical Center was placed on what can be called ‘a soft lockdown’ after a threat was phoned into the hospital.

The new nursing center will locate leased space with a permanent location.

KGVO News spoke with Bob Gomes, CEO of Community Medical Center about the project that will break ground in the fall.

KGVO News spoke to CMC Laboratory Manager Jen Bailey about Saturday’s event.

KGVO has learned that Community Medical Center is now requiring all employees and staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID 19.

Patients needing emergency care will now access the registration and waiting room areas to the right of the ambulance bay.

At a press conference in Butte on Thursday, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte shared the news that monoclonal antibody treatments are now available in 41 out of 56 counties in the state, for those that have requested the treatments.

Missoula’s Community Medical Center is scheduling vaccination appointments through Thursday of this week, according to Sarah Buszmann with the Clinic vaccine Coordination Team.

It was announced this week that Community Medical Center has received Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the American College of Cardiology Accreditation Services.

Within the next week both Missoula hospitals will receive the initial doses of the new Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine, which will initially be given to front-line healthcare providers along with residents and staff of local nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

As COVID cases rise in western Montana, both Missoula hospitals are reinstating their ‘no visitor’ policies as of July 1.

Ever since the COVID 19 pandemic forced itself into our lives, medical facilities have been limiting or even prohibiting visitors from visitation which has caused distress for both patients and their families.
