Sandpoint, Idaho — August 13, 2026, Bonner General Health is honored to recognize the Idaho Elks Rehab for presenting the third and final installment of a transformational three-year, $300,000 commitment to Performance Therapy Services. The latest $100,000 donation marks the completion of an incredible investment in rehabilitation services that has helped expand access to advanced therapy technology and improve outcomes for patients throughout the region.
For the past 10 years, the Idaho Elks Rehab has been a dedicated supporter of rehabilitation services at Bonner General Health, contributing approximately $360,000 to help advance patient care. Guided by its mission of “Advancing Physical Rehab Across Idaho,” the Foundation has partnered with Performance Therapy Services to ensure patients in northern Idaho have access to innovative rehabilitation equipment and treatment options close to home.
“This partnership has had a tremendous impact on our patients and our community,” said Michelle Tucker, Clinic Director of Performance Therapy Services. “We are incredibly grateful to the Idaho Elks Reheb for their continued generosity and commitment to rehabilitation services. Their support has allowed us to invest in technology that truly changes lives.”
Among the most significant purchases made possible through the Foundation’s support is the RT300 Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Therapy System, the first investment made with the initial $100,000 donation. Valued at approximately $50,000, the RT300 uses integrated functional electrical stimulation to activate muscles through strategically placed electrodes while patients perform guided cycling movements. The technology helps restore muscle mass in the legs, arms, and core, offering customized therapy for individuals recovering from neurological injuries and other conditions. Since its arrival, the RT300 has played an important role in countless rehabilitation journeys, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and independence.
The Elk’s support has also helped Performance Therapy Services acquire advanced rehabilitation technology, including an exoskeleton that provides patients with new opportunities to improve mobility and functional recovery.
“We have been delighted to partner with Performance Therapy Services in support of our mission of advancing physical rehabilitation across Idaho,” said representatives of the Idaho Elks Rehab. “Seeing these investments directly benefit patients and improve rehabilitation services in northern Idaho has made this partnership especially meaningful.”
Bonner General Health extends its sincere appreciation to the Idaho Elks Rehab for a decade of partnership and generosity. Their unwavering support has strengthened rehabilitation services, expanded access to cutting-edge technology, and helped ensure local patients can receive exceptional care without leaving the community.
