Montana FQHC May End Seeley Lake Services, Dental Closes July 30, Nearest Alternative 60-100 Miles Away
Partnership Health Center (PHC), a Montana FQHC, notified patients on June 23 that dental services at its Seeley Lake site end July 30, 2026, and that it may terminate the clinic lease entirely amid $250,000-$400,000 in accumulated operating losses tied to Medicare/Medicaid funding changes. Only primary care and telehealth would remain — and those are also at risk — leaving the nearest alternatives 60-100 miles away as the Seeley-Swan Hospital District explores a local levy or replacement provider.
