Changes ahead for Montana's Benefis Health Systems' ER
Great Falls Tribune, August 13, 2012

"We just want to be a better-functioning ER," said Laura Goldhahn, president of Benefis Hospitals.But ER doctors contend Goldhahn's assertion is just one of the many inaccurate depictions of the quality service they say their group of doctors has been providing to people from northcentral Montana for years.
