KANIKSU COMMUNITY HEALTH HOME ABOUT PATIENTS SERVICES FIND A PROVIDER MORE... A small change in the right place can make all the difference. In 2002, a dream was born from the idea that every person in North Idaho, regardless of their circumstances, should have access to quality healthcare. It was a great start, yet it quickly became evident our community needed more. We added dental, behavioral health, pediatric and VA care. Being truly accessible meant we needed extended hours and more locations to better meet your needs After nineteen years, making quality & affordable healthcare accessible to everyone is still what drives us every day. Some of the programs we’ve added over the years include our in-school behavioral health in Bonner and Boundary county schools. Our outpatient opiate-addiction and substance abuse therapy. Our mobile clinic which will deliver healthcare to rural areas. Our achievement of a Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home. And a new purpose-built integrated clinic.
