Montana Department of Health and Human Services

The Montana health department is sending nearly $3 million to local detention centers for addiction and recovery treatment. The grants are a part of the state’s new funding program to address behavioral health services.

Montana’s Department of Health and Human Services filed a petition asking the state Supreme Court to halt a district judge's ruling ordering the state health department to update gender markers on birth certificates.

The Montana State Hospital’s top administrator will no longer oversee operations starting May 9. The change comes after federal officials pulled funding at the Warm Springs facility due to patient safety issues.
