Graduate Scholarships:
Dick Brown Healthcare Leadership Scholarship
The Dick Brown Healthcare Leadership Scholarship is a one-time, annual scholarship of $2,500 awarded by the Montana Hospital Association and Montana Health Research and Education Foundation. Students enrolled in a graduate program for healthcare administration at a Montana college or university are eligible to apply.
The scholarship is named for Dick Brown, a healthcare administrator whose leadership in healthcare administration spanned more than 40 years in Montana. His work had significant and lasting impacts on the healthcare system in Montana, benefiting nearly every Montana resident by protecting access to care in Montana’s most rural communities, ensuring the viability of community hospitals statewide, and leading efforts to improve the quality of care and health outcomes for Montana patients.
Dick Brown served as the CEO of Liberty Medical Center (Chester, Mont.) and in senior roles at the Montana Hospital Association (Helena, Mont.), including 12 years as president and CEO until his retirement in 2019. He served on several national boards and councils, including with the American Hospital Association where he provided a strong voice for healthcare in rural and frontier communities. His work with U.S. Senator Max Baucus in the 1990s helped to create the Critical Access Hospital designation in the U.S., a move that helped ensure the financial viability of our nation’s smallest hospitals and protected access to care for countless rural communities—including 49 hospitals in Montana.
