Intermountain Health Expands OBGYN Program in Billings Amid National Shortage

Billings, MT, September 30, 2026 — Intermountain Health is undertaking an expansion of its Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) program in Billings, Montana. This initiative is being implemented to help address a documented national shortage of obstetrician-gynecologists. The expansion aims to increase access to essential women’s health services in the Billings region, which has been impacted by the broader physician deficit. Specific details regarding the scope of the expansion, including the number of new practitioners to be hired or additional services to be offered, were not immediately available. The contractor’s name for any construction or expansion work was not provided. The timeline for the full implementation of the expanded OBGYN program was not detailed in the provided information. The national shortage of OBGYNs has been a growing concern for healthcare providers and patients alike, leading to longer wait times for appointments and reduced access to care in many areas. Intermountain Health’s effort in Billings seeks to mitigate these challenges locally. Further information on the program’s development is expected as the expansion progresses.
