Hi there, Missoula is a GREAT place to live, the Bitterroot Valley is lovely . . . I know, cuz I live there! I also, obviously, worked there. Yes, there are two hospitals. St. Pat's does most of the cardiac and Trauma (although Community is also now doing Trauma quite well). Community specializes in Maternal-Child, but is attempting to add other service lines (cardiac presence, especially). The biggest problem for folks relocating to Missoula is the cost of living as compared to wages; nurses make good wages (both hospitals are unionized) but the spouses often have significant problems finding work. I've resigned from Community and formed my own Travel Agency, but would be willing to answer any specific questions you might have, if you haven't already moved! dfw
