Montana 's health care workforce is stretched thin throughout the state, the fourth -largest by land area.

Community health workers link their clients to services to meet basic needs, whether it’s health care, food, housing, or insurance.

Bills to prohibit noncompete clauses for physicians and some categories of mid-level practitioners are still alive this session.

Bill would define a community health worker as a “frontline public health worker’s” who helps people obtain medical and social services, advocates for their health.

Supporters of the bill say the workers are uniquely positioned to observe, understand, and address barriers preventing a person from getting and staying healthy.
