BGH among best critical access hospitals in U.S.
Kathy Hubbard Columnist | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 5 months AGO
Toot. Toot. Toot. Can you hear the horn blowing? For the second year in a row, Bonner General Health has been recognized in the top 100 of Critical Access Hospitals in the nation. And, this year, (we should have a drum roll here) BGH is number nine, yeah, that’s like in the top ten!
By the numbers, there are 27 CAHs in Idaho and only four of them are on this list that is compiled by iVantage Health Analytics a leading advisory and business analytic services company. There are 1,332 Critical Access Hospitals in the U.S. And, we’re number nine. I know I told you that already, but I had to repeat it.

Talk explores living with chronic disease
For some of us, having a chronic illness isn’t an emotional issue. It’s only about popping a pill or two every morning or evening. No big deal. But, that’s not the case for others. Think about an amputee who has to put on a prosthesis every morning. Think about a lupus sufferer who can’t go out in the sun without total head-to-toe protection.
