This is a very real fear among the elderly; in fact,...

The ad brazenly said that “Sheehy’s Plan Closes” our local hospital and that “49 Rural Montana Hospitals” will close if Tim Sheehy gets elected.

Tim Sheehy and his wife are combat veterans themselves, and they would never propose or support efforts to reduce veterans’ medical benefits. Sheehy is opposed to nationalizing o...

As we age, our immune system wanes, reducing our ability to fight infection and increasing our likelihood of being hospitalized for the respiratory flu. High dose flu vaccine helps folks 65 and older fight the flu, but what does “high dose” mean, and how do I know if I should get it? The high dose flu vaccine contains a higher dose of the component that stimulates the immune system, called the antigen, than the standard or “regular” flu vaccine.
