About St. Peter’s Health:

Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountain Front, St. Peter's Health is a progressive, independent regional healthcare system in Helena, Montana's state capital. We provide inpatient care in our 99-bed regional medical center and our 24-bed behavioral health unit. Our services also include outpatient primary care /specialty clinics, ambulance services, rehabilitation care and urgent care facilities.

Helena is an outdoor mecca. Five lakes, three golf courses, and a ski resort are just outside town. You will not spend much time in your car (the average commute time is under 12 minutes). Still, you have plenty of opportunities to put in the miles by foot or bike with 70+ miles of trails accessible from many places in town, including our historic downtown, our main campus and maybe your own backyard.

If you want to explore outside of Helena, we are located between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. You can make a quick weekend get-away to either. Helena is also home to an airport, with direct flights to multiple western and mid-western destinations. With around 60,000 residents, the Helena-area school system is exceptional, the arts are thriving, and the outdoors is calling.
