St. Luke's Health System
Our Mission, Vision, and Values
“The great purpose for which this hospital was begun—the helping of suffering humanity back to health and life.”
– Rt. Rev. James B. Funsten, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Idaho, 1906
For more than a century, St. Luke’s has carried on the work first envisioned by Bishop Funsten. Our original purpose has remained, and our heritage and values direct our course as we continue to meet the area’s rapidly growing needs. Our mission, “To improve the health of people in our region,” is the foundation upon which we have built Idaho’s largest and most advanced health care organization.
In keeping with our not-for-profit mission, St. Luke’s maintains an open-door policy, which means we care for all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Thousands of people with no or inadequate health care coverage receive free services each year at St. Luke’s.
Additionally, St. Luke’s endeavors to provide cost-effective, convenient access to health care for the underinsured, Medicaid, and Medicare populations. Our efforts are supported by generous gifts from area benefactors, whose donations help assure both the availability and the advancement of health care for our region.
