Hospitals in Flathead County woo Canadian patients
The Daily Inter Lake, March 9, 2011

Called medical tourism, the rapidly growing practice of traveling across international borders puts North Valley Hospital in Whitefish and Kalispell Regional Medical Center — both less than two hours from the Canadian border — in a good position to cater to Canadians.
