BILLINGS â Volunteering residents and staff at Highgate Senior Living in Billings had their first of three Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination clinics Wednesday, bringing a much-needed dose of hope to the facility s 82 residents.

I can t be boo-hooing and screaming or swearing because it s something that Highgate is going to keep us safe, and we want to keep (staff) safe too, said Flynn.
Most of the Highgate Senior Living s 82 residents and a few staff members received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot during a vaccine clinic put on by Walgreens on Wednesday. Long-term care

GREAT FALLS â The Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging businesses to help the community this holiday season.
Itâs called the Chamber Challenge, and the idea was created by Kelley Aline and Michael Plummer, financial officers at Edward Jones.
Theyâre challenging Chamber businesses such as theirs to find a Great Falls business to support.
Aline and Plummer kicked off the challenge by ordering flower bouquets from Bloom & Bean for residents at Highgate Senior Living, a care facility. We know that 2020 has been really, really tough on folks and we know that there s people who are personally impacted by it but we also know that small businesses have been significantly impacted. So we wanted to be able to give back in our community in a way that is also meaningful to some other people,â Aline said.
