Have you met one our best friends, the Forward Montana Foundation?? We HAVE to introduce you! This amazing organization is all kinds of awesome: they educate, engage, and organize young Montanans to shape their democracy to improve their lives and the lives of fellow Montanans. Yes, PLEASE! Anyhow, one of the most important elections of [...]
Welcome to Part 2 of Gender Identity 101: Kids Want Pizza Rolls, Not Gender Roles! Every time I take my three year old to pretty much any store, we have to have the same conversation about how silly it is that there are separate aisles for “boy toys” and “girl toys.” Our world pressures kids [...]
**Please note** Teens are encouraged to schedule an appointment ANYTIME, not just during Teen Clinic! While Teen Clinic is completely free, fees are based on income so there is a very good chance you will still pay little to nothing at all at an appointment outside of Teen Clinic. Every visit is completely confidential. Can’t make Teen Clinic? Schedule your appointment here! Calling [...]
I’ve always cared about righting what I see as injustices. But once my daughter, Lucy, was born, it became deeply personal.

Bridgercare must do better. For decades, we have prided ourselves in ensuring that the clinic is a safe, inclusive space for all patients. And in light of current events, we started drafting a letter yesterday in support for our local Black Bozeman community which you can read below. However, in the hours it took to [...]

For many in our community, these are scary and uncertain times. Many of our patients live paycheck to paycheck, and now many have no paycheck at all. With Give Big right around the corner, we'd like to share the stories of some of our incredible patients with you. Due to Covid-19, Bridgercare will have an unexpected [...]
Looking for inspiration for the duration of quarantine? We’ve got you! One of the most important steps we can take right now is to stay home whenever possible. When we’re on our couch, just snackin’ and hangin’ out, we’re protecting our loved ones, neighbors, and community and helping to limit the spread of COVID-19. But, [...]

Guidelines and restrictions are constantly evolving, and we want to make sure you are the loop on any changes. Before scheduling, here’s what to [...]
Last year, Bridgercare saw a huge increase (of 70%!!) for individuals scheduling for Transcare services. The increased awareness and accessibility of these services would not have been possible without the support of the Pride Foundation and people like YOU. Recently, we were reminded of why your support of these services is so critically important in [...]

To say my daughter was planned would be an understatement. When we were still dating, I told my now-husband that my greatest dream was to be a parent and if my nieces and nephews didn’t like him when they met him, it would be a signal that he wasn’t the one for me. Thankfully for [...]
