Whitefish residents and visitors have access to top-quality healthcare through Logan Health (formerly Kalispell Regional Healthcare), a leader in care for the state of Montana. Two hospitals service the Flathead Valley: Logan Health – Whitefish, located near the corner of Highways 93 and 40; and Logan Health Medical Center in Kalispell.
Logan Health – Whitefish
Located at the south end of town, Logan Health – Whitefish features a 24/7 emergency department and seven board certified emergency medicine physicians. The facility provides a wide range of hospital-based in-patient and outpatient services, including laboratory and imaging services, minimally invasive robotic and orthopedic surgery, infusion services and a birth center.
The hospital and outreach clinics are known throughout the valley for their Planetree philosophy of person-centered care -- an approach that strives to demystify, humanize and personalize the healthcare experience for patients in a healing environment. The Planetree philosophy is evident in everything from the comfortable, welcoming feel of the building design to the compassionate care of employees in all departments at the hospital.
In addition, Logan Health – Whitefish operates two seasonal walk-in care clinics to serve residents and visitors alike at Whitefish Mountain Resort (open daily during ski season), and West Glacier Clinic (open daily from Memorial Day through September 30). There are also primary care clinics in Columbia Falls, Eureka, and a behavioral health clinic in Whitefish just south of the hospital.
