    Updated Aug 31, 2015

    People having heart problems are at a distinct disadvantage in rural areas. When people are undergoing full cardiac arrest, they have very little time to get care.

A new state program will help people in remote areas such as those along the Hi-Line. Under the leadership of Havre’s Janet Trethewey, the Department of Public Health and Human Servi...
