Dr. Arthur J. Movius set up his general practice in Billings, Montana, way back in 1911. A hundred years later, the Billings Clinic is the region’s largest multi-specialty group practice with 46 specialties, including mesothelioma, and serves a 4-state region. The Billings Clinic Cancer Center is one of only 10 organizations in the U.S. to be selected as the pilot site for the National Cancer Institute's Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP). In addition, the Center conforms to the guidelines established by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
The 272-bed Billings Clinic is a not-for-profit health care organization. It is owned and managed by the community, and is the community’s largest employer with more than 280 multi-specialty physicians and non-physician providers. Their motto is “to provide outstanding health care, education and research in our region and the nation.” This is achieved through merging the talents of business managers, professional staff, and volunteers with medical professionals; this team is committed to quality and service in the fields of health care, education, and research.
Cancer patients and families expect and get expert, compassionate care from physicians, oncology nurses, patient care navigators, social workers, dietitians, genetic counselors, and naturopathic physicians. The entire team is working with single-mindedness to provide the best cancer care through a multi-disciplinary approach to the entire spectrum of services from diagnostic testing, surgery, and oncology treatments to pain management and rehabilitation.

Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum.
