The clinic will likely be located in vacant space at Big Horn Memorial Hospital, also in Hardin, the report said. The proposed clinic is a scaled-down plan of a $3 million health center. The proposed clinic is scheduled to provide primary care medical services, preventive health services, dental services and more.
BVHC applied to become a federally qualified health center last year in order to gain access to grant funding as well as improved Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements but was denied.
