Earlier this week, Kootenai Health in partnership with Multicare Health System broke ground on their new Prairie Medical Campus, nearby the junction of Hwy 41 and Prairie Ave. in Post Falls, expanding access to care in a growing region. The Prairie Medical Campus will be built out in multiple phases on a 30 acre campus style development.
Phase one includes a micro-hospital with a 12-room emergency department, advanced imaging services, and rooms for overnight stays, along with a three-story medical office building featuring clinic offices and lab services. Future expansion plans at the campus include a full-service hospital. "This campus represents our responsibility to plan ahead and serve our community; not after the need outpaces us, but now, when we can meet the need as it arises." said Jameson Smith CEO of Kootenai Health. "We exist the serve our community and advance medical care in our region. The Prairie Medical Campus is a direct reflection of that commitment"
Construction of phase one of the Prairie Medical Campus is expected to continue though 2027 with this development ultimately serving more patients than Kootenai Health's main campus in Coeur d' Alene. This groundbreaking actually follows another smaller nearby investment by Kootenai Health in Post Falls.
The organization also held a ribbon cutting in January for Kootenai Health Pharmacy less than a mile south of this site at 4129 E. Early Dawn Ave. Suite A106. The new retail pharmacy allows for drive-thru and walk-in service for pick up of prescriptions.
