Us
St. Vincent Healthcare is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 286-bed level II trauma center has provided care in Montana and the surrounding area since 1898. Our team is second to none, and we work well together. We are a 22 bed Med - Surg ICU and are Joint Commission stroke certified. Our new rooms feature a lift in every room, a single boom, a dedicated family space and each room is greater than 300 sq. ft.
Our Patient Discharge Navigator RNs demonstrate knowledge and skill in the facilitation of discharge of acute inpatients to the appropriate level of care with the proper level of support needed to avoid re-hospitalization.
Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.
We
Together we’ll align mission and careers, values and workplace.
