September 10, 2021 | CRT Update Dear RVU Family: Labor Day is behind us, summer is fading and Fall is right around the corner.

August 27, 2021 | CRT Update Dear RVU Family: Good news arrived Monday, August 23, when the FDA announced full approval of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for people age 16 and older. This vaccine will now be marketed under the name Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee). This FDA approval is a milestone in fighting the pandemic and we hope this approval will instill confidence in the safety and efficacy of this vaccine in preventing hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. More infectious variants are of increasing concern. The Delta variant is spreading rapidly across the United States, hitting unvaccinated individuals especially hard and pushing health care systems and providers to the brink in many areas. The recurring stress on our health care system is of great concern. As the majority of persons reading this email are either directly or indirectly working to benefit our regional and national medical communities, we should all be concerned about the impact of COVID-19. Again, we hope that the latest news regarding the FDA full approval for the Pfizer vaccine will cause those hesitant to receive the vaccination while under emergency authorization to now be vaccinated. The more persons vaccinated against COVID-19, the more chance we have to combat this deadly […]

Leaders of new Billings medical school outline plans for 2023 opening

Leaders of new Billings medical school outline plans for 2023 opening [August 13, 2021 – KTVQ.com (reposted)] As it turned out, it was between Casper, Wyoming, and Billings for the location of Rocky Vista University’s newest campus. Billings prevailed and is now poised to become the home to Montana’s first medical school. “Billings is already the premier medical center for the northern Rockies, but this is going to solidify that reputation,” said Mayor Bill Cole. “It’s going to be a great addition for medical care not just in Billings, but in central and eastern Montana and more rural areas in northern Wyoming. This is a game changer.” Cole was among a group of civic and business leaders from the Billings community who met Friday with Rocky Vista University (RVU) Vice President David J. Park. Park, who also serves as dean of the new Billings campus, outlined the project’s timeline as it takes shape in west Billings. “Sixty truck loads of concrete have been poured into the ground already, just to give you the size of the magnitude of this building,” said Park. “We are expecting about 600 more truckloads of concrete to build this 135,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art medical education building.” The […]
