Intermountain staff seeks sign of solidarity from public

Nearly 80 people stood at various corners of a Helena intersection Monday evening clutching signs and urging passing motorists to give a toot or two in support of Intermountain and its staff.

It didn’t take long for the convergence of Sixth and Montana avenues to turn into a cacophony of car horns and cheers.

Intermountain recently announced it was closing its residential program, impacting 16 children ranging from 4-14 who live in two cottages and 55 staff members. They said the closure was due to staffing shortages, said they would help with the children’s relocation and on Monday the board of directors said it was committed to reopening the program.
