It started with a vision — brought to life by the talented team at Image Mill, who helped install our new Baby Arrival Wall in the Benefis Birth Center. It continues with our incredible Benefis Labor and Delivery team, who support families every step of the way. And it ends with the very reason this wall was created - to welcome new life into the world. And we’re thrilled to celebrate the arrival of this sweet newborn and their proud parents, Katie and Brayden Ginnaty. The Ginnatys have a unique connection to Benefis, as Katie is the Results coordinator, and Brayden is a member of the Benefis Foundation Board. That makes this milestone even more special as they welcomed their first baby here!

Welcome Mitchell Rohrback, MD, to Benefis Health System!

Dr. Rohrback is a fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeon who specializes in full-spectrum trauma care, including operative and nonoperative treatment of fractures of the pelvis, extremities, and joints. His longtime interest in science led him to explore a career in medicine at a young age when he job shadowed two Benefis orthopedic surgeons. He developed a drive to treat patients’ injuries in a specialized and personalized way.

“It’s never a good time to be injured,” he says. “I work with my patients to help them get back to what they need and want to do.” A graduate of C.M. Russell High School and Montana State University, Dr. Rohrback is thrilled to return home to Great Falls. His wife, who grew up in Sidney, is also a physician. In his free time, Dr. Rohrback values time with his family. He also enjoys fishing and hunting.

Welcome Hana Paladichuk, MD!

Dr. Paladichuk is a dermatologist who treats patients with a wide range of skin conditions, including complex cases. She also specializes in oncodermatology, which focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of skin conditions that develop in relation to cancer treatments, helping patients manage skin toxicities from chemotherapy and immunotherapy so they can continue their cancer treatments.

She was driven to become a physician at a very early age. Her first job was at a nursing home, where she drew inspiration from the impact physicians had on their patients’ lives. “Excellent patient care starts with how you treat each person who comes to you for care,” she says. “I try to take extra time with the patients who need a more comprehensive explanation of their
case and treatment options.”

Dr. Paladichuk and her husband, who is also a Benefis physician, are thrilled to return to their home state. Spending time with family is important to her. She also enjoys hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities in her free time.

🎉 🚁Today we celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the first flight by Mercy Flight.

Jan. 16, 1983, ushered in a new era of life-saving work. For newborns in distress in rural hospitals, for travelers in car wrecks, for injured wilderness explorers, for farmers and ranchers wounded on the job, and for so many more Montanans and visitors, Mercy Flight has been a critical element of survival.

If you have a story of Mercy Flight coming to the rescue for you or your family, we would be honored if you shared it in the comments below.

Babies should always sleep on a firm, flat surface. Inclined sleepers and propped mattresses can increase the risk of suffocation and should be avoided.
A crib, bassinet, or portable play yard with a firm mattress is the safest choice.
