Two New Programs for Veterans Funded
VA Montana has been awarded two grants totaling $707,172 to benefit elderly and disabled veterans by keeping them in their homes as long as possible and avoid institutional care. VA Montana is partnering with a private institution, the Billings Clinic, to pilot the Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) services for Montana Veterans in both Yellowstone County and Livingston, Montana. The second program that has been funded is Home Based Primary Care (HBPC), a nurse practitioner run program that extends primary care to Veterans in their homes.
Detour Advisory
Visitors to the Fort Harrison VA Medical Center must use the Country Club Road detour. Due to construction on the Williams Street bridge, Williams Street will be closed to through traffic. Visitors approaching from either direction on Euclid should turn north onto Joslyn Street to access Country Club Road. Because of the weather, this detour will remain in effect until March or April of 2010.
