Help us build healthier happy lives.
Your gift to the Kootenai Health Foundation changes lives and supports quality, compassionate health care in our community. And, you can choose to designate your gift to the area where you would most like to make an impact. Thank you for partnering with Kootenai Health Foundation as we strive to improve the health of our community one patient at a time.
Compassionate Care Fund
No one should have to choose between paying their medical bill or utility bill, or between a prescription copay or their next meal. The unfortunate reality is that many patients in our region are faced with choices like these each time they experience a medical event. By supporting our Compassionate Care Fund, your gift will help alleviate financial worry and burden on eligible patients faced with financial hardship by offsetting costs of medical expenses- such as prescription co-pays- with gift cards for gas, groceries, and other costs of living.
Family Fund
The Kootenai Health Family Fund was created to address the needs of Kootenai Health employees during times of acute financial hardship. By providing needed resources to our Kootenai Health family, we hope to improve the quality of life for employees. The Family Fund is funded by employees and donors from the community. Each dollar donated by employees via payroll deduct results in a 25 cent match from the Kootenai Health Administration team.
Scholarships
Scholarships help with employee retention and allow for our community to continue investing in our friends, family, peers and professionals. There are multiple scholarship funds available to Kootenai Health employees who pursue continued education as they advance their careers with Kootenai:
- The Pierce Family Scholarship assists any employee with continuing job training and education costs as they further their skills to enhance patient care and overall clinical excellence.
