Circle 100 Update
Sherry Scoffield
The annual meeting of the Circle 100 was held on Wednesday, September 24, in the dining room of the Billings Clinic Broadwater Health Center, with members, staff, and residents in attendance.
Since its inception in 2012, well over $100,000 has been donated by members, and a detailed list of each year’s contributions was shared with all in attendance.
The big, beautiful bus purchased in 2024 is certainly a great asset to our facility and residents.
A very generous anonymous contribution was received in 2025. Per the donor’s request, a gazebo area was built, adding a lovely, peaceful place to our facility.
The Circle 100 started a new “Golden Glove” award this year to recipients Peter McBride and Dave Bigger, who put the gazebos together. Residents and others have very much enjoyed this new outdoor space.
Gary Olsen shared personal thoughts and his experience using Billings Clinic Broadwater facilities for his wife, Judy. From the emergency room personnel, coordination with Bozeman Hospital, and his wife’s wishes to return to Billings Clinic Broadwater. Gary shared that they could not have had better care or been treated more kindly.
CEO Justin Tiffany spoke to attendees and shared the top needs of our long-term facility. New quality mattresses were at the top of the list, as well as trained CNAs.
After discussion, it was unanimously voted to purchase a full-size mannequin to train CNAs, as well as purchase new mattresses with funds that are available.
Circle 100 yearly contributions are arriving daily, and the club thanks all who wish to support these needed items for the long-term care center.
With much appreciation, ice cream cake was served to all attendees and hospital staff.
