One Health provides integrated medical and behavioral health care; dental; pharmacy; substance use disorder treatment; community outreach and education; and obstetrics. We refer to our model of integrated healthcare as Whole Community Care,striving to provide healing at the individual and community level.
One Health began with a call to provide compassionate primary care to the rural population of southeastern Montana. Our journey to unite smaller, independent health clinics began in the summer of 2015. Over the next four years, the previously stand-alone health clinics from Hardin, Ashland, Miles City, Lewistown, Chinook, and Harlem combined to form a single organization. This organization adopted the name One Health in the fall of 2020.
Together as One Health, clinics are able to combine resources to meet the expanding needs of communities;including school-based health centers, location/service expansions, access to the latest technology, financial coverage, andgrant funding.For patients this translates to greater access to increased services while receiving the quality care expected from One Health.
Building on the contributions of staff and volunteers, One Health has grown to become a multi-site, vibrant organization of staff serving a diverse group of individuals across central Montana and northern Wyoming. We are doctors, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, therapists, community health advocates, medical assistants, patient service representatives, patients ourselves and so much more. Most importantly, we are fellow community members honored to serve the areas that support, inspire, and guide our work.
One Health is fundamentally about the pursuit of health justice for all. As such, we strongly condemn any form of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, housing status, immigration status, socioeconomic status, creed, or anything else. We stand in solidarity with those across our community and nation who have suffered injustices of prejudice and hatred both in recent times and throughout our nation's history.
