Providence plans $18M new health care facility near Southgate Mall
Providence Montana announced on Wednesday plans to open a new $18 million health care center in the former Bed Bath & Beyond building at Southgate Mall in Missoula in the summer of 2025.
The new facility will house a dedicated urgent care clinic, a primary care clinic and a Providence Heart Institute general cardiology clinic. It will also have radiology and laboratory services on the site.
“This project has been in the works since November 2022 when Providence recognized the need to enhance access to quality health services due to the rapid population increase in Missoula and Ravalli counties and western Montana,” said Bill Calhoun, chief executive of Providence Montana. “We’re not only establishing a new facility that’s conveniently located, but also expanding a system of care to better serve our communities.”
Providence is a health system with hospitals and clinics across the West, including Providence St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula.
