Billings Clinic Bozeman
Coming in 2022: New Bozeman Campus
In the spring of 2022, Billings Clinic will open a new destination ambulatory center for the Gallatin Valley. We are taking
our time to create an excellent facility, with attention to an optimal patient experience through flexibility and efficiency
of design. This welcoming new campus offers features important to the recruitment and retention of the best possible
physicians and health care providers.
Our new facilities are
being built to the
standards of Leadership
in Energy and
Environmental Design
(LEED) with design by
LEED-certified
architects. The Bozeman
campus will be
integrated into the
beautiful surrounding
natural areas and
community with a
Healing Garden and
connections to existing
trails and streets for
commuting.
Billings Clinic is in the first phase of developing its 58-acre campus in Bozeman
located at E. Valley Center Rd. and N. 27th Ave. The first phase of the plan involves
creating approximately 140,000 square feet of destination ‘ambulatory care’ facilities.
The first two projects include an Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) and an Ambulatory
Surgery Center (ASC) that will serve the needs of the fastest-growing county in the
state of Montana. We will offer a campus that includes a multi-specialty physician
group practice, urgent care and outpatient surgical services.
The center will also provide specialty outreach clinics and telemedicine services to
enhance access to the 80+ specialties offered by Billings Clinic. In addition, the Mayo
Clinic Care Network provides clinical resources and direct access to Mayo Clinic
specialists.
Extensive research went into determining what services are needed for the master planning for the campus, including
in-person community listening sessions, online surveys, and a feasibility study based on the projected needs and growth
of the Bozeman community.
