Find Your Strength 5k & 1k!

Our superhero-themed 5k & 1k will start and finish at Sandpoint City Beach and run down the beautiful Sand Creek trail. The run concludes with a family fun after-party on the lawn of Trinity at City Beach. Please mark your calendars to join us on September 14th! The 5k race will start at 10am and the 1k will start at 11am with an after party from 11am-2pm.

The funds raised during our community run will go towards our Hometown Health Grants initiative. This program identifies needs within our hospital as introduced by department managers.

Every department is offered a chance to apply for one or multiple projects if needed. We had a record year in 2023 with over $50,000 being awarded amongst ten applicants. Crucial equipment such as vital monitors and state of the art microscopes to better serve the patients at Bonner General Hospital are examples of grants awarded.

A few awarded projects from 2023 include:

• Poison Prevention Program: This program was offered to our area elementary schools educating our youth about common poisons and ways to identify and avoid them.
• People Pillar Grant: This grant enhances BGH’s Human Resouces process for attracting new and qualified talent by utilizing innovative applications to recruit team members.
• Surgical Service Electronic Patient Status Tracker Board: The Surgical Services Status Board Project is designed to allow for family tracking and increased efficiency as surgical patients move form pre-op, intra-op PACU, and post-op. This allows families to be up to date on loved one’s status and allow for enhanced patient care.
