About Us
Our mission is to provide excellent, affordable reproductive and sexual healthcare and education in a safe, supportive, empowering atmosphere.
What makes us unique?
Bridgercare is the largest nonprofit reproductive and sexual healthcare clinic in Montana and we serve over 5,000 patients each year. Since 1972, Bridgercare has strived to meet the needs of our community, and we currently do so through four core service programs:
-
Patient fees are based on income. Last year, 58% of our patients received a discount on our sliding fee scale, making care affordable and accessible.
-
Bridgercare partners with Haven, Bozeman’s local domestic violence survivor advocates. Haven refers individuals to Bridgercare, where they receive free services in order to remove significant accessibility barriers for some of our most vulnerable community members.
-
Bridgercare is the only place many patients access healthcare, making it crucial to address both physical and mental health at their visit. Bridgercare uses the Collaborative Mental Healthcare model, which is based on an innovative, new framework for providing psychiatric services that best support patients struggling with anxiety and/or depression.
-
Montana Family Planning (MFP) is a statewide network of 20 service sites that provide sliding fee scale sexual and reproductive health care for people across Montana. MFP focuses on removing barriers so that everyone can receive the high-quality care they deserve.
Montana Family Planning (MFP)
Montana’s Title X (federal family planning funding) network was, for fifty years, administered by the Montana Department of Health and Human Services (DPHHS). However, after shifts in state leadership threatened to defund Bridgercare and other family planning clinics in Montana, Bridgercare acted to protect the network from partisan meddling. We put forward an application to the federal government in November 2021, competing with the state for management of the Title X network, and in April of 2022, Bridgercare successfully won control of the program, protecting reproductive care across Montana!
