Kaniksu Community Health is a non-profit, award winning Community Health Center that provides integrated, team-based healthcare in north Idaho.

The healthcare landscape is a tough one to navigate and a big part of what we do is untangle that mess for our patients, making an impact in their lives each and every day. Regardless of how a patient can pay, or the severity of their concerns, we help find solutions.

Patients consider us their partner in healthcare, over the course of their life and the spectrum of their health needs. From prevention and wellness to medical, dental, and behavioral health. From pediatric to geriatrics, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible, approachable and affordable for everyone.
