- Helena Independent Record Opinion Piece"Investigators said the lack of official documentation of the complaints against the male nurse was part of a systemic failure in how St. Peter’s handled multiple reports of sexual abuse by two staff members in 2023 and 2024."
- Montana Free Press"I am a frequent flyer at the St Peters Health Lab and I love love love the folks who work there. I can't say enough about how friendly they are - how I am a person not just a number to them."
