Free gun locks available at Medical Center

SEELEY LAKE – Free gun locks are available at the nurses station at the Seeley-Swan Medical Center. Partnership Health Center received 100 loop locks from the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office and 60 trigger locks from the Missoula County City Health Department to distribute.

PHC Director of Innovation Mary Jane Nealon said that because PHC screens 86 percent of their patients for depression, they are able to identify individuals or their family members that may be at risk.

“It is one more way to work on prevention,” wrote Nealon in an email. “Here in Missoula, we’ve often had people take them because they are worried about a loved one. It’s a great way to normalize the conversations around suicide and accidental death.”
