Snake River Community Clinic in Idaho

The Snake River Community Clinic in Lewiston takes a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to health care. Here, where the closest medical facility is more than 100 miles away, the clinic’s volunteer doctors, nurses and pharmacists provide a much-needed service: quality health care that is free-of-charge to those who need it most. Since 2000, the clinic has served thousands of patients in north Idaho, southeast Washington and northeast Oregon.

In addition to basic medical care, clinic volunteers provide information and tools — such as chronic disease self-management classes — to help patients take charge of their own health, and education about appropriate use of the emergency room and other medical resources.

With a $10,000 grant from The Regence Foundation, the Clinic will continue its important work.
