Big news for the New Year! 🎉 As of January 1st, Partnership Health Center has officially separated from Missoula County to become a fully independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Rest assured: We have NOT gone “private.” We remain a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), meaning we are here to serve everyone—regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
While our legal status has changed, your care has not.
🏥 Same Care: You will see the same smiling faces and expert providers.
💼 Same Team: No jobs were lost in this transition.
💙 Same Mission: Breaking down barriers to health in Missoula.
"This transition will help us be more responsive to the healthcare needs of our patients," said our CEO Lara Salazar.
