Broadwater Health Center in Townsend is in talks with Billings Clinic that could create a relationship between the two health care providers. "We're just kind of in the shopping stages, if you will, to see what Billings Clinic has done for other communities," said Kyle Hopstad, the hospital's administrator. Jim Duncan, president of the Billings Clinic Foundation, agrees that talks are in their infancy and said no agreements have been reached. "We have agreed to visit with them about what ways Billings Clinic could help," he said. Billings Clinic's relationship with other hospitals and clinics varies, Duncan said, and is tailored to the individual needs of each institution.
