Ensuring critical access to care now and into the future

Maintaining quality healthcare in our communities

Providing longterm care options in our region

Rural hospitals and clinics are closing at an alarming rate.

What would happen if you couldn’t get the care you need…when you need it?

The American Hospital Association (AHA) reports that between 2010 and 2021, 136 rural hospitals have closed. Nineteen of these closures occurred in 2020 – the most of any year in the past decade.

And there are more closures to come: An NRHA-sponsored study showed 673 rural hospitals hospitals are “vulnerable or at risk for closure.”

If nothing is done to mitigate this problem, that means 11.7 million patients could lose much-needed healthcare access.

We understand how important it is for you to be able to access quality healthcare for you and your loved ones when you need it.

That’s why we’re looking to expand our services and our capacity to better serve the residents of Mountrail County and beyond!

The Inspiration Behind Our New Logo

Our new Mountrail County Health Foundation logo was inspired by the Bethel Chapel cross, originally in the Blaisdell Church, which was one of the original churches overseeing our Nursing Home. It has since closed down, but the altar furniture,

two pews and this cross were brought to the Bethel Chapel to be their new home.

The IHS in the middle of the cross is a Latin abbreviation for the Greek Word Jesus: IHSOUS
