About Us
The Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare is a clinician-led, community driven organization that provides accessible and actionable data and medical insights for lawmakers, business leaders, and concerned citizens to engage them in the restoration of safe, evidence-based healthcare for all Idahoans. Our partners include professional medical organizations, advocacy groups, state legislators, academic researchers, business leaders and members of the media.
We are dedicated to preserving and growing an excellent and high-quality medical community by cultivating a culture that honors medical standards of care, protects the patient/provider relationship, and allows for the practice of medicine in an unambiguously legal environment.
Our History
The first iteration of the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare was born in August 2022 as clinicians across the state worked to comply with Idaho’s trigger bans, a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The new laws compromised the ability of medical experts to comply with nationally-recognized standards of care for pregnant women.
In 2023, we incorporated two organizations: Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare, a 501 C(4) and Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare Foundation, a 501C(3). Together, these entities work to realize our goal of safe healthcare for all Idahoans.
Our Members
The Coalition is clinician-led and community driven. Our membership spans the state and includes physicians, nurses, certified nurse midwives, advanced practice practitioners, nurse anesthetists, medical assistants, mental health professionals, community health care organizations, legal and advocacy organizations, medical adjacent groups, and concerned citizens.
We invite you to join us in making Idaho a safe place to live, work, play, and get healthcare.
