North Idaho Rural Health Consortium TeleHealth Network

In 1991, the five district hospitals of the five northern counties of Idaho came together to form the The North Idaho Rural Health Consortium (NIRHC). These five community hospitals have the common goal to provide a regional integrated approach to the delivery of rural health care. This includes access and referral to specialty care, surgical and mental health follow ups and closer relationship with Kootenai Cancer Center physicians and staff.
