Kootenai Health

Kootenai Health is a hospital in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It provides a comprehensive range of medical services to patients in North Idaho, Eastern Washington, Montana, and the Inland Northwest across several facility locations. The main campus includes a 381-bed community-owned hospital and a wide range of physician clinics, including a family physician residency program. Kootenai Health repeatedly earns regional and national awards and recognition and is a Magnet facility.

The organization's Heart Services department offers a full spectrum of care for cardiology patients, both within the hospital at Kootenai Health's Heart Center and at Kootenai Heart Clinics. Services span general and interventional cardiology, electrophysiology for heart rhythm disorders, cardiothoracic surgery, and vascular surgery. Patients can access diagnostic services, including non-invasive tests and invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterizations, as well as interventional treatments like stents, pacemaker implants, and implantable defibrillators. Open-heart surgery and intensive care include procedures such as bypass and heart valve operations, while cardiac rehabilitation and support help patients increase physical fitness, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of future heart problems. Prevention tools and resources include community screening events and educational offerings. Kootenai Heart Clinics and Kootenai's Heart Center physicians and staff have reached an impressive milestone of over 700 Watchman cases, making it the leader in the region for this procedure. The WATCHMAN Device is a minimally invasive procedure that helps prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib), especially those who cannot take long-term blood thinners. The physicians who perform the procedure are Dr. Eric Wallace, Dr. Michele Murphy-Cook, Dr. Clinton Thurber, and Dr. Ronald Jones. Kootenai Heart Clinics consists of a network of locations in Idaho and Montana, staffed by board certified cardiologists who provide general cardiovascular care, with subspecialty treatment available in electrophysiology, echocardiography, nuclear and invasive or interventional cardiology.

The Women's Imaging Center provides a warm and healing environment designed to put patients at ease, with advanced imaging technology and nationally recognized accreditation for every screening. The organization also maintains a volunteer program, and its contact information includes a main switchboard at (208) 625-4000, a business services line at (208) 625-5000, and an emergency department at (208) 625-5700.

Kootenai Health is known for its comprehensive cardiovascular care, its Magnet designation, and its regional leadership in advanced procedures like the Watchman implant, serving the Inland Northwest from its main campus in Coeur d'Alene.
