As the state’s largest private employer, St. Luke’s is a key contributor to our vibrant economy, which includes not only great jobs and growing businesses, but one of the lowest costs of living in the western states with affordable homes and energy prices. 

For many Idahoans, recreation and enjoying our open spaces are among the many reasons they love living here, with over 82,000 square miles of mountains, rivers, deserts, and forests to enjoy. The climate is relatively moderate, with four beautiful seasons and plenty of snowfall to benefit our ski resorts in winter and our lakes and reservoirs in summer.

Idaho is not only geographically diverse, but benefits economically from a variety of industries—agriculture, forestry products, renewable energy, and manufacturing, as well as recreation and tourism, high-tech, and health care services. Idaho’s population is growing rapidly, yet we still have the lowest crime rates in the West. Families will find safe neighborhoods and high quality schools and universities.

From our cities to our rural areas to our mountain towns, you’ll find exciting nightlife, college and semi-pro sports, music and theatre, and lots of family-friendly fun.
