Community Overview

Great Falls is known as Montana's base camp for art and adventure with a city population of 70,000, drawing over 275,000 people in north central Montana. We experience four genuine seasons with mild winters and enjoy blue skies over 300 days per year. Great Falls is a wonderful and safe place to raise a family, featuring nationally ranked public schools, endless activities, two accredited colleges, a brand-new nursing school, a biomedical rural health research institute, and a new not-for-profit medical school, TouroCOM Montana.

The Missouri River, a blue-ribbon fly-fishing destination, runs through the middle of our community with over 60 miles of paved recreational trails. Local outdoor activities include camping, backpacking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, water and snow skiing, rock and ice climbing, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, off-road motor sports, and hunting—making our quality of life unrivaled in the Rocky Mountain West. Additionally, in 2023, Montana was named the best state in the nation to practice medicine by WalletHub, and in 2020, Great Falls ranked among the best cities to practice in after the pandemic by Business Insider.

Benefis Health System is one of Montana's largest tertiary centers holding a level II trauma designation.
