Sponsorships
Community Medical Center is committed to the health of our community and the surrounding region. Our mission statement, “Making communities healthier®,” underscores this commitment. Community Medical Center is proud to support and partner with community organizations, non-profits, community groups, and others to improve the health and safety of people and the communities we serve throughout Western Montana now and into the future.
Community Medical Center receives many requests for support from various community groups and organizations, but we are only able to sponsor a select number of events and activities that are strongly aligned with our mission, strategic and community health priorities and meet our sponsorship guidelines. It is our goal that sponsorships benefit Community Medical Center, the community partner and the shared vision of making communities healthier.
We ask that one sponsorship request be submitted per organization per calendar year (January - December). Please look at your sponsorship needs for the year before submitting a request for sponsorship.
