“We take this notice seriously and the Bozeman Health system board of directors assumes responsibility for making such changes as are appropriate under the circumstances,” the spokesperson said. “We will work with physician leadership toward solutions that continue to serve our community.”

The vote will not change the leadership structure at Bozeman Health, CEO John Hill told staff in an email obtained by KBZK.
