Bridgercare's New Clinic
Two weeks ago, we closed for 4 days to make the move from our location of over 30 years in the Medical Arts Building to our new location at 1288 N 14th Street! Both our Bridgercare staff and patients are thrilled with the new clinic, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all those who helped make this dream a reality.
Here is everything you need to know about the new clinic:
Our new address is 1288 N 14th Ave (Bozeman), across from Kenyon Noble on Oak Street.
The new clinic is DOUBLE the size of the old space.
Over a 10 year period, Bridgercare saved $1 million to help build a new clinic.
Out of a total of $2.4 million dollars, we only have $230,000 left to raise and every dollar is matched by an anonymous donor.
88% of the donations made to our new clinic were $100 or less, making this a true community effort.
Our patients want this new clinic just as much as we do, and in the last 10 months, they have collectively contributed over $30,000 to make this happen!
Our new clinic improvements…
10 exam rooms, 4 of which are large enough for procedures (verses 2 at our old clinic)
Significantly increased sound proofing to protect patient privacy
Reliable plumbing and heating
Windows in exam rooms for better lighting and fresh air
Extensive, private parking for patient ease
Located next to a Steamline bus stop for increased access
Large building sign to increase visibility and help patients locate Bridgercare
What would a new facility mean for our patients?
Expansion of services:
Endometrial biopsy and cervical polyp removal
Vasectomy (permanent contraception for men)
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) exams for victims of sexual assault
LEEP treatments for cervical cancer prevention
Community outreach and educational offerings hosted in our own Community Room
Financial stability:
Bridgercare will save $30,000 each year through clinic ownership!
These savings will be allocated toward direct patient services
A larger facility will allow us to serve more patients and increase revenue overall
