About Us: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Community Hospital of Anaconda (CHA), located in historic Anaconda, Montana, has been serving the healthcare needs of Anaconda-Deer Lodge County (ADLC) and Southwest Montana since 1889. CHA has an extensive, talented medical community, featuring specialists in Family Practice, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, General Surgery, Neurosciences (Brain & Spine), Orthopedics, Emergency Medicine, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Oncology, and Ophthalmology. This team of experienced medical providers offers specialized services in our own community, alleviating the practical challenges of traveling distances to receive quality medical care.<\/p>\n

CHA has routinely been recognized as a “Top 100 Critical Access Hospital in America\u201d and is recognized as a “Baby Friendly Hospital” and a twelve-time recipient of the “Quality Achievement Award”. Nine-time recipient of Top 100 Critical Access Hospital Designation. Recognized by the Chartis Center for Rural Health as a 2019 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital.<\/p>\n

Community Hospital of Anaconda offers a full continuum of care including Acute Care, Cardio Pulmonary Services, Convenient Care, Emergency Services, Laboratory Services, Medical Imaging, Nutrition Therapy, Rehabilitation Services, Pharmacy, Surgery, and three ambulatory care clinics with services including Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Obstetrics\/Gynecology. CHA also offers Home Health, Hospice, Long-term Care, and a Surgical Clinic encompassing the specialties of General, Orthopedic, Spine and Brain. CHA will continue to assess community needs and will expand services as needed to meet those needs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOUSING:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Housing varies between two of our hospital rentals \u2013 one is a two-bedroom, one bath and one is a one-bedroom, one bath.\u00a0 Both are fully equipped with all of the essentials (kitchen items, bath towels, linens, etc.) so students only need to bring their own clothes, etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>ABOUT THE COMMUNITY:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anaconda and the surrounding area are alive with possibilities for everything from business to recreation. Within the community is a growing and walkable downtown business district with a coffee shop, bakery, salons, a fitness studio, clothing boutiques, home-goods shops and offices. Main Street is the entrance to Anaconda\u2019s historic district, where the U.S. Post Office, the Hearst Free Library, the Deer-Lodge County Courthouse and the Washoe Theater are among buildings listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. All of those buildings are still being used. The theater is treasured by locals, and has recently upgraded to a digital sound and display to ensure the future of modern cinema in a historic setting.<\/p>\n

Just beyond the city limits, outdoor opportunities abound. Anaconda is surrounded by national forest land with abundant hiking, skiing and snowmobiling trails. Bountiful fisheries are only a short drive from town, including the Big Hole River and Georgetown Lake. Just beyond Georgetown Lake is Discovery Ski Area, a hill to satisfy both hard-core skiers and families. Skiers enjoy pulse-pounding vertical drops, a relaxed easy chair and everything in between. Within Anaconda, tidy parks offer entertainment for families, and The Jack Nicklaus-designed Old Works Golf Course sits atop land reclaimed from Anaconda\u2019s copper-smelting hey-day.<\/p>\n

Social and entertainment activities have grown in number in recent years in Anaconda. The community plays host to the Goosetown Softball Tournament, Art in the Park, summer concert series\u2019 at several venues, a community market, a Friday night summer event and more. These events not only provide activities for locals, but help maintain a tourist population that stimulates the economy.<\/p>\n

Volunteerism is part of the fabric of the community, and serves as an important networking tool for newcomers and existing residents. The Anaconda Garden Club, Anaconda Community Foundation, Copper Village Museum and Art Center, Parent-Teacher Associations, Anaconda Trail Society and Boys & Girls Club are just a few not-for-profit organizations that encourage civic involvement.<\/p>\n
