Kootenai Health knows the importance of building a strong and healthy community. To help meet these important needs, Kootenai provides a variety of support services to patients and community members beyond the four walls of the hospital.

Some of our services include:

Advanced Care Directives

Advice, tools and resources to help patients and community members make the decisions and legal documentation on their preferences during end-of-life care. Learn more.

The Davidson Family Hospitality Center and Walden House

The Hospitality Center offers low-cost, convenient overnight lodging for patients. Located at the northwest corner of Kootenai Health’s campus, it is just a short walk from the hospital, imaging services, and various clinic practices.

The Davidson Family Hospitality Center was established through a partnership between Kootenai Health, the Community Cancer Fund, and the Kootenai Health Foundation. It received significant operational assistance from Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest. It furthers the vision established by Ace and Ellen’s Walden House, built in 1989. This Hospitality Center initiative was driven by a shared vision to ensure access to care and offer exceptional support services for patients and families throughout the region. With 20 rooms, the center offers a home-like atmosphere, complete with kitchen, laundry facilities, and recreational areas.
