Uniting medical professionals and the communities they serve to advance safe healthcare in Idaho.
Many People, One Mission
Why Physician Advocacy?
Dr. Caitlin Gustafson, a family medicine doctor in rural Idaho and our board president, explains how legislation makes her job harder every day and how the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare is working to protect patients and the doctors who care for them
Our Impact
What we’ve accomplished
Since our founding in 2022, The Coalition has grown to more than 3,000 members across Idaho who believe that safe healthcare doesn’t include jailing doctors for providing standard medical treatment to their patients. Our clinician advocates have met with half the legislature and worked on issues from immunizations to parental consent and reproductive healthcare.
What we’re working on
The Coalition is always growing, educating local communities, and seeking opportunities to partner with Idahoans to advance safe healthcare. If you are a clinician or community member committed to increasing the number of doctors and other medical professionals to care for our growing state, you’ve come to the right place. Our leadership on safe healthcare, advocacy trainings, and community events are waiting for you.
What the future holds
Idaho’s future requires a sturdy healthcare infrastructure. Our work in research, education, and advocacy is making that future possible. As we grow our clinical advocacy network, engage with our lawmakers, and activate local communities from Bonner’s Ferry to Buhl, we’re charting a path to the future Idaho needs.
