Six years ago, Shodair began dreaming of a space Montana kids deserve – one that is intentional, open, safe, flexible, and hopeful. And on February 3, 2023, after launching the most significant fundraising effort in Shodair’s history, that dream came to fruition when we moved into our new facility. Located at the edge of Montana’s capital city and standing three stories tall is a children’s mental health hospital unlike any other. Its windows stretch from floor to ceiling, a public café adorns the building’s entrance, and when the sun sets and the night rises, there, with its multicolored lights and illuminated interior, remains a beacon of hope – shining for the world to see. For years, Shodair has worked to be Montana’s leading resource in children’s mental health. And today, we continue that effort in a way that cannot only be heard but seen – through the intentional design of our new hospital building. But we didn’t do it alone. 

In May 2021, we asked you – our friends, family, and Shodair community – to rally alongside us in building hope for Montana families. And, unsurprisingly, you showed up! Since the launch of our building campaign, together, we have raised $12.6 million, expanded Shodair’s campus, supported hundreds of local employees, created a more unified Montana, and accomplished the ultimate goal of transitioning our patients into their new home. And, yet there is still work to be done – $1.4 million to be exact.
