Bertoglio votes for patient safety

While the 2021 Montana Legislative Session is only part way done, we feel it’s important to take a moment and thank Representative Marta Bertoglio for her work in protecting the health and safety of the communities we serve. Recently, Rep. Bertoglio stood up for common sense and protection of the most vulnerable.

Specifically, she helped stop House Bill 415, which would have prohibited your local hospital and healthcare facilities (such as nursing homes) from requiring staff to be vaccinated. Hospitals in Montana are not required by law to require vaccinations, but most do. 

Vaccinations are a clinical best practice and a proven, evidence-based recommendation of the CDC to ensure the safety of both patients and healthcare workers.
