Expert medical care is one reason the North Idaho area is a premier relocation destination. In Coeur d’Alene, Kootenai Health provides a comprehensive range of medical services to patients in north Idaho, eastern Washington, Montana and the Inland Northwest at several facility locations
The main Kootenai Health campus is located in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and includes a 299-bed community-owned hospital and a wide range of physician clinics including a family physician residency program. Kootenai Health repeatedly earns regional and national recognition and is a Magnet facility. Kootenai Clinic Health Park brings residents of Post Falls together with general practitioners conveniently located off of Mullan Ave.
The 24-bed Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls offers orthopedic, ENT, general and plastic surgeons, GYN, gastric, neurology and pain management specialists. An attached medical center features specialists in physical therapy and an expanded Premier Urgent Care for general medical treatment and minor emergency care.
Bonner General Hospital in Sandpoint serves most of Bonner and Boundary counties along with Boundary Community Hospital in Bonners Ferry. Sandpoint also has an urgent care center downtown. The Silver Valley is well provided for by the Shoshone Medical Center in Kellogg as well as the SMC Health and Wellness Center. The Benewah Community Hospital is in St. Maries.
The Coeur d’Alene Tribal Wellness Center, a 43,000 square-foot facility in Worley, serves members from five counties. The Benewah Medical and Wellness Center (BMC/WC) is located in Benewah County in the Panhandle of Idaho on the Coeur d’ Alene Indian Reservation. This county has the highest number of minorities of any county in the State of Idaho. It offers fitness, community health and aquatics and rehabilitation programs to Tribal members and non-Indians through membership plans.
In years past, residents of North Idaho routinely sought medical care and treatment across the state line in Washington, but now a full selection of quality services are available locally.
Fitness Culture
North Idaho has developed a culture of fitness that’s in keeping with the variety of sports and recreation opportunities available through all of the seasons. Hiking, cycling, climbing, swimming, skiing and golf are all conducive to a healthy lifestyle. The annual Coeur d’Alene Ironman Triathlon not only offers a look at world-class athletes but is also inspiring the average North Idahoan to embrace active outdoor fitness goals.
Wellness and seeking to enjoy life are some of the reasons this area consistently tops best places to live and retire lists.
