Hospice of North Idaho, Shoshone Medical Center sign contract
A new contract between Hospice of North Idaho and Shoshone Medical Center will allow Hospice of North Idaho to be able to provide inpatient hospice care at Shoshone Medical Center for Shoshone residents enrolled in Hospice of North Idaho's services.
Prior to the creation of this contract, patients in Shoshone County were transported to Hospice of North Idaho's Hospice House in Coeur d'Alene when their symptoms could not be managed at home or were in need of a higher level of care than could be provided at home.
Hospice of North Idaho's Shoshone office is located at the Shoshone Medical Center's Wellness Fitness Center, 204 Oregon St. in Kellogg.
Hospice of North Idaho's other offices include its St. Maries annex, its main office in Hayden, and the Hospice House, in Coeur d'Alene.
