Hospice Kids Camp Concert Thank You!

Stonecloud-4-Kim-edit-1 (1)

On behalf of our BGH Community Hospice, we would like to take this opportunity to extend a generous THANKS to Stone Cloud 4: Liam McCoy, Sean Causey, Jake Smith and Riley “Bam Bam” Christman for your amazing gift of shared presence and art of sound – during the first Hospice Kids Camp Concert on May 3rd at our local Bonner County Fairground!

Not only did you ‘rock the house’ with your unique style of classic rock, funk and blues, your inspired intention to bring support and awareness to our annual grief camp for our local children and youth – truly moved our hearts.

Special gratitude to Heather McCoy – for her coordinating brilliance for this first in Sandpoint benefit event, including a silent auction that raised over $4000 for our BGH Community Hospice Kids Camp.  It is with such gratitude to our Bonner County community for your generous donations and support that truly made this event a grand success!

Our BGH Community Hospice Kids Grief Camp is available at no cost to our children ages 8 – 17 who have experienced a significant loss through death.  This week-end camp is an opportunity for grieving children to come together for an intensive experience of healing, FUN, inner exploration and companioning support -as they move through the journey of healing.  When our campers share about their experience with CAMP – our most noted observation remains: “I am not alone “.

SPACES ARE STILL AVAILABLE for our June 21-23rd, 2019 – Kids Grief Camp. For additional information, please contact: Lissa DeFreitas  208-265-1185 or [email protected].

History

Established:
The original hospital was an old infirmary building used at the once active Farragut Naval Training Station, located on the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille. In 1949, this single-story wooden structure was barged 25 miles up Lake Pend Oreille to its current location.

Even though the hospital was rebuilt decades ago, it still sits on its original site along the banks of Sand Creek.

Additions & Renovations:
In 1992, Creekside Health Center was built to provide a unique physicians complex which houses various medical practices as well as a large, well-equipped conference room.

In 1999, the hospital’s 50th birthday, a new addition was completed that houses:

Many of the Hospital’s Outpatient Services
Rooftop Helipad
Private Counseling Rooms
Private Treatment Rooms
State-of-the-art Surgical Services Center

Our Values

Express empathy for the needs, thoughts and feelings of those we serve and with whom we work.

Deliver the best outcomes possible and the highest quality service.

Adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and personal responsibility.

Responsibly use and be accountable for our resources.

Construction of our Health Services Building and skywalk in downtown Sandpoint began in 2014, and was completed in the spring of 2015.

We bridged our hospital services with preventative healthcare and outpatient services. With the expansion of our campus, our departments added state-of-the-art equipment and services that patients used to have to go out of town to receive.

While healthcare has drastically changed from the days of the single-story wooden infirmary, the employees at Bonner General Health continue to demonstrate the same warmth and friendliness of that first small-town hospital.

Mission

To improve health, inspire hope and save lives.

Vision

To be known for excellent, personal care that makes Bonner General Health the first choice for the health care needs of our community.

We provide essential urgent, acute, and critical care as well as a host of other services
to meet the needs of our growing and vibrant community.
