We offer our patients better access to prescriptions at discounted prices.  Only patients of Kaniksu Health Services are eligible for the discounts, which can be anywhere from 25 to 50 percent off.  KHS has contracted with the pharmacies in Bonner and Boundary counties to provide such discounts to our patients under this program.  Ask your healthcare team which pharmacies are currently participating.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

Picture
We recognize that sometimes our patients need assistance outside of the healthcare realm.    The Sandpoint Community Resource Center has the unique mission of linking people with needed social services in Bonner and Boundary counties. They coordinate with our local service community, volunteers and organizations as resource advocates for those we serve. It is their goal to be a highly visible presence in the community so that everyone in need of services will call or stop by to receive a friendly and knowledgeable response and referral. 

Through web technology, SCRC has organized and made available local and statewide service information to the public and the service providing community. See their
