As a leader in Montana healthcare, we are thrilled to break ground in Spring 2025 on the new St. Vincent Regional Hospital in Billings. This will be a full-replacement hospital, meaning the current St. Vincent facility will be replaced, and upon opening, all current services offered at St. Vincent will transfer to a new state-of-the-art facility. The project is designed to address current needs of patients of the region, while accommodating both long-term population growth and future healthcare needs of the community. Construction on the project is expected to begin in Spring 2025 and anticipated to be completed in 2029.
Innovative design for patients and caregivers
Building a replacement hospital affords a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take all we know about modern healthcare and design a hospital for high-quality, efficient care for decades to come.
The decision to replace the current facility was made to address aging infrastructure and to create a modern and efficient hospital. The guiding principles of the new hospital’s design will meet patient needs for many years to come. The innovative and adaptable design ensures that the facility is built to meet how hospital care will continue to change. The new facility will have 243 patient beds with additional space ready to build out 16 additional beds when needed. All of the rooms are designed to be universal with the ability to be converted into an ICU level of care, allowing the hospital to respond to changing demands and a potential future pandemic.
Additionally, all of the operating rooms have been designed to adapt to multiple types of procedures and will be fully integrated to handle changes in technology and accommodate the latest and future developments in robotic surgical technology. The surgical areas of the hospital have also been designed to have the pre-op, operating rooms, and recovery areas all in the same location, allowing for more efficient care.
