As childcare needs continue to rise in the Treasure State, Alluvion Health in Great Falls is looking to develop an employer sponsored childcare program.

Alluvion Health is partnering with businesses to open about 40 slots that families using employed sponsored childcare could have and it can also be an incentive for employers offering benefits to potential employees.

Casey Schreiner, vice president of strategy and innovation at Alluvion Health, talked about the $417,000 grant which was received by the Department of Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and the hopeful solution it can bring to the community.
