History & Recognition

The Billings Clinic was founded by Dr. Arthur J. Movius, who started his Billings medical practice in 1911. [1] In 1915, after practicing on his own, Movius had Dr. J.H. Bridenbaugh join him as an assistant. Bridenbaugh operated and managed obstetrics and began working with a ground-breaking device, the x-ray machine. During World War I, Bridenbaugh joined the military, where he received training in radiology. After returning from the war, Bridenbaugh incorporated diagnostic x-rays and radiation therapy into his practice.

By 1930, five other physicians joined Movius and Bridenbaugh, forming the Movius-Bridenbaugh Clinic, which specialized in obstetrics, fractures, and trauma. In 1939, the clinic conceived a plan to recruit new physicians as partners of the hospital, changing the name to The Billings Clinic. Construction began on a new clinic across the street from Billings Deaconess Hospital in 1950.

In 2013, The Billings Clinic joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a collaboration between Mayo Clinic and other health organizations to allow those organizations to access Mayo's clinical expertise. [4] In 2009, the Billings Clinic opened a cancer center, at a cost of $31.9-million. [5] The same year, an outpatient surgery center opened. [6]
