Benefis Teton Medical Center partnered with Healthy Teton County, MT and local community organizations yesterday for the annual Bike Rodeo, which focused on bicycle safety, helmet education, and injury prevention for local youth.

The event featured interactive safety stations, bike handling activities, and helmet fittings and education to help students build safe riding habits as they head into the summer season. BTMC staff volunteered alongside community partners throughout the day to support safety awareness.

Thank you to Benefis Teton Medical Center Foundation for generously providing the helmets distributed during the event, helping ensure children in our community have access to proper bicycle safety equipment!

Struggling with weight loss isn’t a failure of willpower. Often, it’s the result of complex biology, hormones, and lifestyle factors working against you. Join us for our latest Benefis Teton Medical Center Health Session — an informative and approachable community talk focused on what actually works when it comes to sustainable weight loss.

Learn how modern weight loss medications, including GLP-1-based treatments, fit into the bigger picture, along with practical guidance on nutrition, movement, and the often-overlooked role sleep plays in metabolism and overall health. Blending clinical expertise with real-life experience, this session offers an honest, evidence-based look at weight loss from both sides of the exam room.

We’re proud to call Montana home — and even prouder to work alongside the incredible nurses who care for our communities every day.

According to a recent WalletHub report, Montana was named one of the top 10 states in the country for nurses, recognizing factors like opportunity, competition, and working conditions.

At Benefis, we see the impact our nurses make every single day through the compassion, skill, and dedication they bring to patients and families across Montana. Thank you for all that you do.

Carli Neal, RN, and Tylee Harvie, LPN, visited the elementary school this morning to teach students about proper handwashing in a fun, hands-on way. Using stuffed animals, they showed how easily germs can spread. Students also used lotion as “germs” and viewed their hands under a black light, making it easy to see what’s often missed. Afterward, students practiced proper handwashing, focusing on the 20-second rule, scrubbing all areas of the hands (including between fingers, thumbs, and under nails), and learning when it’s most important to wash … like before eating and after coughing or using the restroom. It was a great way to make learning fun while helping kids build healthy habits!

Support groups can help caregivers build coping strategies, prioritize their own physical and emotional well-being, and gain practical tools for caring for loved ones living with dementia.
