Post Falls residents
will start
to see construction crews get
smaller as work on the expanded
Kootenai Clinic building comes to
an end.
The second floor of the expan-
sion is now open. Kootenai Clinic
OB-GYN, Family Medicine and
Kootenai Heart Clinics Northwest
occupy this new space. All three
clinics are now nearly double
the size of their former locations,
and Heart Clinics expanded to
include space for stress tests,
which were not previously offered

in the Post Falls location.
“We’ve done our best to mini-
mize the effects of construction
on patient care,” Derek Miller,
Director of Facility Planning and
Property Management, said.
“Having the additional space al-
lows for a better workflow for our
staff and provides a better experi-
ence for our patients.”

The new main entrance to the
building is also open. Patients
and their families can now drive
up under a covered drop-off area
with easy access to the entrance
before parking. This provides
families and caregivers a much
better option when arriving for
appointments.
“Before construction, the parking
lot was very long, and patients
often had to walk from the back of
the lot,” Derek said. “Having this
drop-off area makes the building
much more accessible and patient-
friendly. We’re excited to be able to
improve the patient experience at
our Post Falls location.”
