October 19, 2023
Dear City of Bozeman,
Thank you for being a hero for bodily autonomy, personal freedom, and most importantly, a patient who needs you
right now.
You are ensuring that everyone receives kindness and compassion whenever they walk through Bridgercare's doors.
Regardless of someone's ability to pay,they can always find the care and education they need to take control of
their own health and future.That is made possible because of you,and other fierce advocates alongside you who
are taking a stand.
Because of your passion, politics will never get in the way of...
A local teen gaining knowledge about consent and what a healthy relationship looks like.
A survivor of domestic violence having access to the full scope of reproductive healthcare,free of charge.
A patient receiving gender affirming care and thriving in the Gallatin Valley as their truest self.
Thank you for making sure that everyone has compassionate, affordable care in this challenging time when it's
needed most.
With gratitude,
,�- vq d_� -
Stephanie McDowell, Executive Director
