RED LODGE, MT — Beartooth Billings Clinic is expanding behavioral health services through a new partnership with Cody Regional Health that will bring psychiatric care directly to patients in Red Lodge while providing additional support for Beartooth’s primary care providers.

In addition, Cody Regional Health’s behavioral health team will offer consultation services to Beartooth’s Integrated Behavioral Health Providers, strengthening collaboration and enhancing patient care.
The partnership addresses a longstanding need for additional behavioral health resources in Carbon County while allowing patients to receive specialty services through their trusted local healthcare provider.
“Access to behavioral health services is an important part of caring for the whole person,” said Abby Lotz, CEO of Beartooth Billings Clinic. “We’re proud to partner with Cody Regional Health to bring additional expertise to our community while continuing to provide care close to home.”
Behavioral health conditions can significantly impact overall health and well-being. Through this collaboration, patients will have greater access to specialty behavioral health services without having to travel outside the community whenever possible.
“Rural healthcare organizations are strongest when we work together,” said Hannah McRae, CEO of Cody Regional Health. “We’re honored to partner with Beartooth Billings Clinic to support their providers and expand behavioral health services for the Carbon County community.”
The partnership also includes provider-to-provider consultations, enabling Beartooth Billings Clinic primary care providers to collaborate with Cody Regional Health behavioral health specialists on complex cases through secure telemedicine.
“This collaboration strengthens the care already being provided at Beartooth Billings Clinic and helps ensure patients have access to the behavioral health expertise they need,” said Bridgett Chartier, Chief Nursing Officer of Beartooth.
