ON APRIL 1, 2010, Saint Alphonsus Health System was created to serve the 21st-century healthcare needs of the people of southwestern Idaho, eastern Oregon and northernNevada. This four-hospital, 714-bed integratedHealth System comprises Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, Boise; Saint Alphonsus Medical Center – Nampa (formerlyMercyMedical Center); Saint Alphonsus Medical Center – Ontario (formerly Holy RosaryMedical Center inOntario, OR); and Saint Alphonsus Medical Center – Baker City (formerly St. Elizabeth Health Services in Baker City, OR). The Saint Alphonsus Health System is a not-for-profit healthcare system that invests profits back into the community and works to improve the health and well-being of those it serves by emphasizing care that is patient-centered, innovative and community-based. Compassion is the foundation for all that Saint Alphonsus Health System does. Patients and their families are treated as people first, and that means that respect and recognizing each person’s dignity are at the core of any treatment program. It also means that when someone receives care at Saint Alphonsus Health System, the needs of the whole person—body, mind and spirit—are what matter most. We are pleased to share with you Health &Healing , a magazine promoting health education, wellness and disease prevention. We provide a wide range of benefits, such as programs to manage care for persons with chronic diseases, community classes, screenings and access to all health services.
