The North Idaho Health Network is a non-profit network of health care providers in Idaho’s five northern counties designed to meet the health care needs of individuals and businesses. We emphasize quality based on outcomes, recognizing that cost savings in health care result from efficient delivery of care designed to achieve the best possible results.

The community physicians and hospitals of the five north Idaho counties formed North Idaho Health Network in 1994. Today, the Network is the trusted local health resource working to optimize health by creating and promoting solutions designed to educate the community and achieve high quality, cost-effective health care. The Network is comprised of more than 271 physicians and the non-profit community-owned health centers, including Kootenai Medical Center, Bonner General Hospital, Boundary Community Hospital, Benewah Community Hospital, and Shoshone Community Hospital.

At the North Idaho Health Network, we believe that in order to achieve high quality, affordable health care requires quality physicians, hospitals and allied health care providers, including contracted Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services. Working in partnership with the community health care providers, employers and insurers, the North Idaho Health Network brings together the best solutions to deliver the highest quality health care locally.
