With a heavy heart, we must report that on August 31, 2026, the Center for Asbestos Related Disease (CARD) in Libby, Montana, will close its doors after dedicating over 25 years to battling one of the most infamous asbestos crises in the United States. This closure is not just the end of an era; it marks a significant loss for the thousands of current and former Libby residents who heavily relied on its services.
CARD has been a beacon of hope in a community that has been disproportionately affected by asbestos exposure. As such, the news of its closure is understandably met with concerns and apprehension. As the lifeline for many, CARD’s closure is significant not just to the residents of Libby, but it also sends ripples across the nation, shedding light on the ongoing struggle against asbestos-related diseases.
