Idaho FQHC Intelligence

On its current Idaho Falls page, observed July 19, 2026, Grand Peaks says it has moved into a new building at 2454 N 25th E and lists medical, dental, behavioral-health, and pharmacy services in separate suites. Posted hours are 7 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays for medical care; 7 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Wednesday and Friday and 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday for dental; 7 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays for behavioral health; and 8 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays plus 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Saturday for the pharmacy.

This is a current operating baseline, not the opening date or a pre/post expansion measure. The page does not report when the move occurred, service-specific appointment or walk-in rules, whether every service is available throughout every posted hour, staffing or FTEs, facility size, construction or operating cost, incremental capacity, visits, wait times, funding, or outcomes; patients should confirm availability.

Idaho broadened the types of organizations that may seek Rural Health Transformation funding beyond hospitals and clinics to include libraries, community centers, schools, and faith-based organizations. The plan also allocates $8 million per year to graduate medical education, with the State Board of Education identified as an eligible recipient.

Federal guardrails cap capital and infrastructure at 20% of funds, provider payments at 15%, and administrative costs at 10%. The article does not quantify FQHC awards or establish that any health center will receive renovation funding.

Valley Family Health Care's July 10 post schedules five free 2026 sports-physical sessions using its Mobile Access Care unit at four Idaho locations: Treasure Valley Classical Academy in Fruitland on July 31 (9 a.m.–3 p.m.); New Plymouth Clinic on August 3 and 4 (1–5 p.m. both days); Payette High School on August 5 (9 a.m.–7 p.m.); and Parma High School on August 6 (9 a.m.–6 p.m.).

The posted flyer says a parent or guardian must be present to sign consent, space is limited, and the last patient will be accepted 30 minutes before closing. It encourages students to attend their home-school session when possible but permits other options.

These are scheduled events, not proof of delivery; the source does not report appointment requirements, eligibility beyond the consent language, staffing or FTEs, slot capacity, patients seen, wait times, costs beyond the physicals being free, funding, follow-up care, or outcomes.

Family Health Services announced a $256,000, three-year grant from the Intermountain Community Care Foundation to expand clinical screening, outreach, education and resource navigation for patients facing housing or utility instability in Burley and Rupert. The July 1 announcement says the work will prioritize people at risk of homelessness or currently experiencing housing or utility instability and connect them with emergency housing and utility assistance.

FHS separately reports serving more than 35,000 patients annually across an eight-county service area; that organization-wide baseline is not treated as the grant's reach. The source provides no patient or household target, added staffing count, assistance amount per household, grant start or end dates, screening-rate goal, housing-stability measure or clinical outcome projection.

CHAS Health and Frontier Behavioral Health broke ground June 29 on a 10,000-square-foot integrated clinic at 130 E. Sprague Ave. in Spokane, Washington. The planned site will combine primary care, behavioral health, substance-use treatment, pharmacy, and care navigation; it is expected to serve 4,000 patients a year and open in fall 2027.

The project uses a $2 million federal grant, $1.5 million from Washington's 2026 budget, and $5.7 million financed by Frontier, with CHAS operating under a 10-year lease. Although CHAS also operates in Idaho, the cited project is in Washington and the article documents no Idaho site, award, or patient-capacity increase.

State officials said Idaho's first Rural Health Transformation opportunities would open in early June, beginning with maternal and child health, with chronic-disease prevention and mental-health opportunities planned later in 2026. Federal acting director Kate Sapra said later awards could be lower and that funding would increasingly depend on milestones and health outcomes, especially in the program's final three years.

Idaho may receive nearly $1 billion over five years, but the article makes clear that the full amount is not guaranteed.

The directory identifies this operator as Dirne Community Health Center, which operates publicly as Heritage Health. Its current pediatrics page presents CDA Pediatrics as a new partnership and says it is accepting new patients at pediatric offices in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Rathdrum and Kellogg.

The linked patient FAQ labels May 1, 2026 as the planned effective date, says CDA Pediatrics is becoming part of Heritage Health rather than closing, and says locations initially will remain unchanged. The FAQ describes intended integration with behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, care coordination, Medicaid access and sliding-fee support; those are access mechanisms and goals, not measured post-transition gains.

Neither page reports patient volume, appointments added, provider retention or additions, staffing FTEs, wait times, payer-mix change or clinical outcomes.

Community Health Clinics Inc., operating as Terry Reilly Health Services, says its adult dialectical behavior therapy groups began accepting external referrals on a rolling basis for a March 2026 expansion. The two in-person groups each meet weekly for two hours: Thursdays from 4:30–6:30 p.m. at the Trauma and Resilience Center in Boise and Tuesdays from 3–5 p.m. at the Behavioral Health Clinic in Caldwell.

Referrals require a recent diagnostic assessment; participants cannot be experiencing active psychosis and those working toward sobriety must abstain from drug use on the group day. The verified capacity baseline is two scheduled groups at two sites, not a participant count.

The source gives no group-size limit, fee or payer policy, staffing or added FTE, previous referral volume, attendance, completion, wait time or clinical outcome target.

Glenn's Ferry Health Center Inc., doing business as Desert Sage Health Centers, posted a fee schedule effective February 2026. Its sliding-fee program is based on household income and family size even for insured patients; at 0–100% of the federal poverty guidelines, it lists nominal charges of $20 for medical care, $5 for behavioral health, $35 for preventive/basic dental care and $45 for elective dental care.

The application is available in English and Spanish at every site and online. The brochure also posts Mountain Home medical hours until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus behavioral-health hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and dental hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

This is a posted price-and-hours baseline, not proof of eligibility approval, a universal final bill, guaranteed slots, completed visits, incremental capacity, added staff or FTE, utilization, wait-time change, savings or outcomes; some supplies and lab charges may be additional.

NACHC's February 2026 national policy paper says community health centers serve 10 million rural residents at 6,500 rural and frontier locations. It identifies rural workforce shortages, geographic isolation, and infrastructure barriers, and calls for investment in primary-care workforce training, telehealth, behavioral-health and substance-use services, and protection of the 340B program.

The paper provides national policy priorities and does not quantify Idaho-specific shortages, staffing, or 340B use.

Full Circle Health says its Caldwell Urgent Care opened November 17, 2025, at 315 E. Elm Street, Suite 100. The clinic posts walk-in hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday for non-emergency illnesses and injuries, with on-site lab services, interpreters, multilingual services including Spanish, and a sliding-fee option for qualifying families.

The page says it accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance, and welcomes uninsured patients. This is a documented opening and posted operating baseline, not evidence of 24/7 or emergency-department care, guaranteed service at a particular arrival time, incremental rooms, added clinicians or FTE, completed visits, throughput, wait-time change, payer mix, savings or outcomes; after-hours lab work may be sent to West Valley Medical Center and billed separately.

Adams County Health Center reported on February 17 that its dental department provided dental-care services to 19 children during a February 6, 2025 Give Kids A Smile event in Council. The operator says the free event serves children age 18 and younger who lack dental insurance and need care; possible services at an ACHC event include examinations, cleanings, fillings, X-rays, extractions, and sealants, with other procedures possible when needed.

The 19-child figure is the operator's event-level count and does not mean every child received every listed procedure. The source does not report procedure counts, unique-patient methodology, referrals or follow-up, uncompensated value or funding, staff hours or FTEs, unmet demand, wait times, or clinical outcomes.

HRSA's Idaho award page lists Family Health Services in Twin Falls as the state's sole FY2025 Expanded Hours awardee and sets the award amount at $500,000. HRSA says Expanded Hours funding requires added operating hours at one or more in-scope sites, including in-person care during the new hours; recipients had to add some hours by June 1, 2025 and operate all approved new hours by June 1, 2026.

The Idaho award page does not identify the sites, services, weekly schedule, continuation funding or whether Family Health Services met those milestones; it also reports no patient, visit, staffing, FTE, wait-time, emergency-department-use, cost or clinical-outcome result. The $500,000 is the amount on the FY2025 award page, not a verified multiyear total.
