With your support, the foundation has raised over one million dollars through the generosity of the community.

We work closely with the senior leadership team at BGH to identify needs to improve the care we provide to our community.

Through hosting fundraisers, events, and various campaigns throughout the year, the Foundation receives funds to be distributed to BGH to meet the greatest need.

Here is what your recent contributions went toward:

When a BGH Department has a smaller need that we may have extra funds to cover, we do so through our Hometown Health Grants Program. This is an internal grant program where managers can submit proposals for various funding needs.

We are dedicated to keeping quality healthcare close to home. We rely on supporters like you to contribute to meeting the healthcare needs in our community.

Join us in elevating care in our community!

Find your strength Family Fun Run

Thank you for a wonderful event! 

Bonner General Health Foundation would like to thank all the participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making the 2023 Find Your Strength Family Fun Run a success!  

The funds raised during our community run went to purchase the  Exoskeleton. This state-of-the-art rehab technology has transformed the lives of many who have lost the ability to walk due to stroke, injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and more.

Having this technology at Bonner General Health will benefit people in our community and those from throughout the Inland Northwest. Currently, the closest facility with an Exoskeleton is in Wenatchee, WA. With this addition to BGH, we are now the only hospital in Idaho with this technology.

Thank you for taking the next step with the BGH Foundation.
