MISSOULA – Providence St. Patrick Hospital has announced the closure of the Family Maternity Center, effective Oct. 10, 2025.
After careful consideration of ongoing external challenges, including flat and declining birth volumes, and workforce shortages, we have decided to close the Family Maternity Center, effective October 10, 2025. This decision was not made lightly and was guided by our commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to our community while being good stewards of our resources.
We are working closely with Western Montana Clinic and Community Medical Center to ensure a seamless transition of care for expectant mothers. Community Medical Center’s labor and delivery program, including advanced NICU capability, can meet current and future market needs, ensuring no decline in access to quality services.
Providence caregivers affected by the closure will have the opportunity to apply for open positions within Providence. We are committed to supporting them during this transition.
St. Patrick Hospital will continue to provide nonsurgical and surgical gynecological care and manage any urgent medical needs through its Emergency Department.
