Anaconda is nestled in the heart of Southwest Montana, offering easy access to a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, skiing, and biking. While the town provides a scenic and adventurous lifestyle, it is also conveniently located just 30 minutes from Butte and about two hours from Missoula and Bozeman, where residents can find urban amenities. With a population of 9,673, Anaconda prides itself on its strong sense of community. Originally established as a copper-smelting boomtown in the late 1800s, it played a crucial role in processing copper mined in Butte. Over time, Anaconda developed a rich industrial heritage, shaped by its blue-collar roots and diverse cultural influences. One of the town’s most recognizable landmarks is its towering smokestack, which rises against the skyline as a cherished symbol of its historic past. However, Anaconda’s mining legacy also brings environmental considerations, particularly due to its proximity to a Superfund site.

Eureka is in the Tobacco Valley in North Lincoln County. Located approximately 50 miles from Whitefish, MT. Population of Eureka is over 1,500, however our service areas consist of over 5,000. 

We started as a one provider clinic in the mid-1990s and have since grown to seven providers (2 physicians, 3 nurse practitioners and 2 physician assistants). 

Eureka is 45 minutes away from the nearest hospital, Logan Health Whitefish, and 75 minutes from Logan Health in Kalispell, MT. We have no local ER so serve not only as a traditional Family Practice Clinic but also accept walk in patients to address their urgent needs, same day appointments and stabilize emergent patients for ALS transport, as necessary.  All our providers are ATLS and ACLS trained, and all nurses are ACLS trained.  We also provide care for our local 45-bed nursing home and two assisted living facilities and hold a clinic once a week at the local public school.  

Our providers practice in Eureka because they like the work-life balance living in a rural mountain town affords them.  Eureka is a class B school system usually graduating 70-100 students per year and offers small class size yet big enough to have advanced curriculum for our students to be competitive as they graduate.  For skiing we are 1.25 hours from Whitefish Mountain, 1.5 hour from Turner, 1 hour from Fernie and 1.5 hour from Kimberly.  We cross country ski and snowshoe out the doors of our homes.  Glacier Park is 1.5 hour away, but we hardly go there as we have premier hiking out our back door with no crowds in the Ten Lakes Wilderness area.  “Stone Hill” is a destination rock climbing site on Lake Koocanusa in our back yard.  We have numerous lakes for water activities and premium fishing along with the Elk River and Kootenai River for fishing, kayaking, and rafting.  Eureka is also on the Continental Divide Mountain Bike Trail that runs from Fernie to Mexico and just one of the areas to enjoy cycling on or off pavement. 

Our providers enjoy full spectrum clinical medicine without the obligations of a hospital.  We routinely work-up and stabilize acute coronary syndrome for air transfer to Kalispell and regularly utilize our full ACLS skills.  Thankfully, we do not have to use our ATLS skills much but do get gunshot wounds that walk through our doors along with a fair share of chain saw injuries and ATV/MVA accidents.  We otherwise offer in-office circumcisions, advanced contraception options, minor surgical procedures along with vasectomy. 

Logan Health Rehab-Eureka offers full spectrum physical and occupational therapy.    

We have a variety of specialty providers seeing patients in Eureka regularly, both in person and via telehealth. We have a mobile mammography coach on-site two days per months offering 3D mammography screening and DEXA.
