The Benewah Medical and Wellness Center (BMC/WC) is located in Benewah County in the picturesque Panhandle of Idaho on the Coeur d' Alene Indian Reservation less than 35 miles south of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Serving both Native American and non-native patients, the organization allows for the maximum flexibility of patient care activities while still promoting coordination of services. Community Health staff interact with clients in the home or school settings, linking them with appropriate medical, mental health, nutrition, rehabilitation and wellness programs.

BMC/WC has also been creative in addressing the multi-cultural considerations of its diverse communities. Clinic and Wellness Center employees are trained to know about Native American history, customs, and specifically about the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. It is the practice within BMC/WC to create specific opportunities during staff meetings to learn about cultural beliefs and values and how they may relate to illness. This organization recognizes the importance of Native American belief systems and ceremonies and accommodates attendance at Tribal gatherings when appropriate. Patient satisfaction surveys at BMC/WC consistently show a satisfaction rate above 92%.
