1956Kootenai Hospital District is created when the
medical needs of the local population outgrow the
capacity of Lake City General and Coeur d’Alene
General Hospitals.
With support from local businesses, construction
of the facility starts at Seventh and Hazel using
the dismantled barracks of Farragut Naval
Training Station.
1965Voters pass a $1.6 million general obligation bond and construction begins on Kootenai Memorial Hospital at the intersection of Highway 95 and Ironwood Drive.
1966Kootenai Memorial Hospital opens its doors on
November 1 replacing Lake City General and
Coeur d’Alene General Hospitals.
1967The Kootenai Memorial Auxiliary is founded. To this day, it remains a strong supporter of the hospital.
1970 – 1978Building projects in 1970, 1972, and 1978 doubled the hospital’s bed capacity from 92 to 181.
1982Groundbreaking takes place on the three-story, 154,000-square-foot addition to Kootenai Memorial Hospital that some call “Big Blue.”
1983Kootenai Memorial Hospital Foundation is established.
(The legacy begins with you.)
It’s been about community since the beginning. The Kootenai Hospital
District was created in 1956 by and for the people of northern Idaho. In a
perfect illustration of innovative thinking and resourcefulness, the facility
built at Seventh and Hazel was constructed with reclaimed materials from
dismantled barracks of the Farragut Naval Training Station.
That sense of independence and community spirit permeates the next
60 years of growth, both for the community and for Kootenai Health.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone
across the waters to create many ripples.”

You’ll notice a common thread throughout our history: our commitment to
community, coupled with an unwavering vision that builds our future instead
of waiting for it to happen to us. It’s who we are. And we strive to honor that
legacy in every decision we make.
What we do, how we interact, and the very essence of who we are naturally
flow from our mission:
“We improve health one patient at a time in a friendly and professional culture committed to superior quality and safety.”
Inherent in this statement are the values that tie us to the communities
we serve. Because we want the absolute best patient experience, we value
superior quality and safety. Because our patients are an integral part of all
decisions and plans, we value patient focus. Because our workforce represents
our vitality, we value a healthy culture. Because we strive to use all of our
resources wisely, we value stewardship. Because we continue to be forward
thinking, we value visionary leadership.
Our mission and our values combine to give us a clear vision for our future:
By 2020, Kootenai Health will be a comprehensive regional medical center delivering superior, patient-focused care and will be recognized among the premier health care organizations in the United States.

IMAGINE MEETING THE NEED.

(The story begins with you.)
The growth of Kootenai Health is indelibly tied to the growth of northern Idaho.
And that’s where the story begins – because the health and vitality of our
communities is a reflection of the health and vitality of all of us who live here.
In order to meet the developing health care demands of our region, we need to
innovate and push toward the future. It’s what we strive for, and what our patients
deserve. We’ve created an environment of excellence, and in the process have won
numerous national awards for care, for stewardship, for community impact, and for
workplace satisfaction. In fact, that unwavering commitment to excellence is why
Kootenai Health was recently chosen as a Mayo Clinic Care Network member.
Together we’ve built something special. As our region grows, we are committed to
high-quality health care that grows with it, right here at home.
In the words of CEO Jon Ness,
“We cannot stand still and remain just a
community hospital ; we must grow into an
outstanding regional medical center.”

of space. It’s an expansion
of care. With a new family

community: children.

Time to make that choice.
With the growth of our community and the surrounding region, we continue
to see higher patient volumes. More space is needed to accommodate current
and future growth, as well as improvements and innovations. Our existing
facilities are at capacity, and a recent facility assessment identified a need
for 20% more space to meet our communities’ needs.
Coupled with the growing need is this reality: our last major expansion was
over 30 years ago. In that time, our region has grown dramatically. So have
the health care needs. Meanwhile, interest rates, construction costs and
worker availability are all favorable. And other vital improvements in our
existing facility hinge on expansion. It’s time for us to choose to meet the
evolving needs of our patients, rather than stay still and let outside factors
influence how to meet those needs.
IMAGINE THE FUTURE.

(The future begins with you.)
In 2014, we broke ground on a $57 million, 100,000 square foot expansion
adjoining the east side of the existing hospital. As you might expect, the
expansion design has been a collaborative effort, including physician, nurse
and staff input. The overall design elements were chosen based on our patients’
perspectives and needs, with the principal focus to ensure privacy and comfort.
The key elements, the room design, the interior design, the wayfinding, the flow,
all come together to provide a warm, light, healing environment.

Yvette was diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump in her armpit
and going to Kootenai Health for a mammogram. When tests confirmed the
cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and liver, she began treatment with
characteristic determination and grace. “I remained positive the entire time,”
she says. “And even now...I’m too strong for that. Too stubborn for that.
I wasn’t going to lose to cancer...and I didn’t.”
IMAGINE YOUR PART.

Now is the time to examine your legacy. What kind of health care facility will your
family inherit? Picture your children bringing their children into this world in the
privacy and comfort of our new Family Birth Center. And now think of the story
we’ve just shared with you…a story we continue to create after 60 years. We’d
like you to consider becoming a part of it. You can help create a positive, healing,
nurturing Kootenai Health environment, and write the next chapter in our legacy –
and yours.

IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES.
(It all begins with you.)
That sense of independence, that sense of community, has always propelled
Kootenai Health forward. Northern Idaho is unlike any place else, and we do
all we can to protect that. So this really isn’t just an expansion of our medical
services; it’s an extension of who we are as a region. You are part of us.
We are part of you. And we all have a part to play.
Imagine with us.
