About RN/LPN Care Manager - Obstetrics

  Kaniksu Community Health is a non-profit, award winning Community Health Center that provides integrated, team-based healthcare in North Idaho.

  The healthcare landscape is a tough one to navigate and a big part of what we do is untangle that mess for our patients, making an impact in their lives each and every day. Regardless of how a patient can pay, or the severity of their concerns, we help find solutions.

  Patients consider us their partner in healthcare, over the course of their life and the spectrum of their health needs. From prevention and wellness to medical, dental, and behavioral health. From pediatric to geriatrics, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible, approachable and affordable for everyone.

We know that our overall success is a combined effort and we therefore strive to provide opportunities for our employees to learn, grow and thrive. We are proud to have built a positive and engaged team with a 'family' spirit. Our team members must know exactly what we are working on and why, and how their everyday work contributes to successfully achieving this goal.
