A Sep. 17 ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of the unit, which will serve patients ages one to 14 starting next week, the report said.

Prior to the unit’s opening, Idaho residents had to travel out of state to receive post-acute pediatric rehabilitative care. 

The project took 10 years to complete, according to KTVB.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
