Continuing Our Legacy of Excellence in Health Care
From our founding in 1902 to 2021, when we were recognized as one of the top 15 health systems in the nation for the 8th consecutive year, St. Luke’s has always been a leader in health care and a dedicated community partner.
As Idaho’s only locally based, not-for-profit, community-owned and community-led health system, we are committed to providing all patients with the highest quality health care, regardless of their ability to pay.
At a Glance: Caring for Our Communities in 2021
St. Luke’s primary service area is Ada County, with our secondary service area covering Southwest and South-
Central Idaho, Eastern Oregon and Northern Nevada. Below is a broad overview of the benefits St. Luke’s
provides to our service areas. This report also includes benefit snapshots broken down by county: Ada, Canyon

Community Needs Determination Process
St. Luke’s community health effort is directed by community needs assessments, community boards and our community health team. In 2019, St. Luke’s published our most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, which was designed to help us better understand the most significant health challenges facing the individuals and families in our service areas.
Local community health teams, in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, are responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining optimal community health initiatives designed to address our communities’ most significant health needs.
