Montana Legislators Push for Solutions to Health Care Workforce Shortage

Montana's legislative session is witnessing several bills designed to tackle the ongoing shortage of health care workers in the state, which ranks as the fourth-largest in the nation by land area. Among the proposals is a plan to formalize the role of community health workers, a move that aims to enhance the support available to underserved populations. Additionally, legislators are advocating for Medicaid to cover services provided by these community health workers, potentially expanding access to vital health care services.

Another significant proposal includes the establishment of interstate compacts, which would enable certain health care providers to practice in Montana using licenses issued in other states. This initiative seeks to streamline the process for qualified professionals to enter the Montana workforce, addressing the urgent need for skilled health care practitioners. As discussions continue, these legislative efforts reflect a growing recognition of the importance of bolstering the health care workforce to meet the needs of Montana's residents.
