The Benewah Medical and Wellness Center is located in northern Idaho's Benewah County on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. In 1990 the Health Board Authority and Tribal Council decided its new clinic would serve all persons in the community. In 1994 Benewah Medical Center was able to provide services to the medically underserved and indigent population. Funding from the Bureau of Primary Health Care allowed the Coeur d'Alene Tribe to establish the clinic as a Community Health Center.
Benewah Medical Center allows for the maximum flexibility of patient care activities while still promoting coordination of services. Community Health staff interact with clients in home or school settings, linking them with appropriate medical, mental health, nutrition, rehabilitation and wellness programs. Benewah Medical Center staff employees are trained to know about Native Indian history, customs, and specifically about the Coeur d'Alene Tribe.
