A Hidden Gem

Former Employee

I have had the privilege to work at Kootenai Health and reported to COO Jeremy Evens. It’s not really reporting to Jeremy, it’s more of a partnership and working relationship for the common good of the patients, staff, and community. I can’t say enough about the staff at KH. They are all compassionate, friendly, and always lending a helping hand to one another. It is one of the best well rounded groups of people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
