Governor Gianforte Makes Historic Investment To Transform State's Behavioral Health System

Press Release

"After decades of previous administrations applying Band-Aids and kicking the can down the road, we're making a generational investment in our behavioral health care and developmental disabilities service delivery systems. Instead of turning our backs on those struggling, we're investing in hope and opportunity to get Montanans healthy. The time for kicking the can down the road is over."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Thank you to Rep. Bob Keenan and Sen. John Esp for leading this effort in the legislature. With it, we'll expand community-based behavioral health clinics and services so that Montanans have access to the care they deserve. We'll also improve the quality of services at the state hospital in Warm Springs and other state-run health care facilities, better ensuring the safety of patients and providers."
