What We Do
WICHC is aligning healthcare, social services, and public health to work together and invest in communities towards a common goal of improving health outcomes and saving costs.
Our Mission
As a community of stakeholders, the Western Idaho Community Health Collaborative (WICHC) aims to transform the health of our community by collaborating, prioritizing, and collectively supporting the community health needs and healthcare transformation efforts that will have the greatest impact on improving health outcomes and lowering the costs of healthcare for the ten-county region that includes: Ada, Adams, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, Valley, and Washington Counties. The work of the collaborative is to serve all those who live, work, learn or play in the ten-county region, focusing on all ages of residents in our urban and rural settings.
"We believe that no one organization can make the type of impact we want to see in community health nearly as efficiently or effectively as a collaborative can."
- Nikki Zogg, Southwest District Health
