Our Vision
A few years ago Saint Alphonsus leadership was firmly engaged
in exploring and developing solutions to meet the growing needs of the community
and pressing challenges facing the hospital. We asked ourselves:
- Where is the world going in healthcare?
- What innovative, life-saving technologies are now in the pipeline, coming soon and/or on the drawing board?
- How do we best use scarce human and financial resources to serve more than 500,000 people over 7,000 square miles?
- What, where, when and how is the best way to deliver healthcare services?
- How do we recruit and retain the most skilled staff and physicians?
- What physical environment do we need and want to create?
- How do we help patients heal?
By answering these questions, we have developed a visionary, reality-based plan of serving our communities' future healthcare needs. The plan is called Vision 2010: The Future of Healing, and consists of four care delivery settings.
Saint Alphonsus Health Plazas allow patients to receive a wide variety of hospital services in a convenient neighborhood location. Services at the Health Plazas include primary care and specialty physician services, x-ray, lab, rehabilitation and outpatient surgery. The Health Plazas are digitally linked to the main hospital campus, providing patients access to information, test results, and physician consultation housed at the hospital.
Saint Alphonsus Medical Group consists of over 70 primary care physicians practicing at over 20 clinics throughout the Treasure Valley. These physicians provide pediatric, maternity, adult and senior care to help patients prevent and manage disease and illness. Whether you focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle or need support for routine, chronic or critical illness, our medical team will provide you with the high quality, personal care you deserve.
Virtual Monitoring & Care utilizes telemedicine as a key delivery vehicle for disease and treatment management. It reaches out to patients who are homebound or in rural areas and who lack mobility or access to healthcare services. This service eliminates time and geographic barriers to receiving care and allows nursing and physician staff to treat patients who otherwise would not be able to travel to receive care.
Center for Advanced Healing is re-creating our current Regional Medical Center on Curtis Road to specialize in treating the most acutely ill and injured patients—mainly trauma, complex surgeries and intensive care cases. Here you will find electronic medical information viewable real time and from anywhere around the world, state-of-the-art surgical operating theaters, diagnostic radiology, robotic surgery, telemedicine and electronic intensive care units to meet the most critical needs.
