Bozeman Health had a problem, one that officials at the health system with hospitals and clinics in southwestern Montana said had been building for months.
It had made it through the COVID-19 pandemic's most difficult trials but lost employees and paid a premium for traveling workers to fill the void. Inflation had also driven up operating costs.
The system, which serves one of the state's richest and fastest-growing areas, was losing money. It spent nearly $15 million more than it brought in from January to June of this year, President and CEO John Hill said.
