Every doctor in Idaho contributes $1.34 million to the economy. If we still had the 94 obstetricians who stopped practicing after Idaho’s abortion bans went into effect, that’s another $124 million per year in economic impact and more than $4 million in taxes generated annually.

Wishing you a happy new year from the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare! Our goal for the new year is to continue working on bringing safe, evidence-based healthcare to all Idahoans.

What are you hoping to achieve in 2026?

We made our presence in the state known this year. In 2025, we introduced the Coalition and safe healthcare issues to 30 state legislators. In 2026, we’ll build on those relationships and extend our reach across the state and across the aisle.

Idaho needs laws that create a safe practice environment for physicians, not laws that threaten jail time. It’s time to support evidence-based healthcare by addressing Idaho’s abortion bans and parental consent laws.

Whether you're dusting off your ski gear or lacing up your hiking books, our state has rugged open ranges for the toughest adventurers out there.

When things go wrong, even the toughest rely on rural clinics and family medicine doctors for the help they need.

Our new report shows how each doctor generates jobs in hospitals, outpatient centers, specialty hospitals and diagnostic laboratories. We need laws that support the delivery of evidence-based healthcare to grow our economy.

Idaho’s parental consent for medical treatment of minors laws assume family relationships that don’t always exist. Idaho’s Parental Consent Laws block physicians like Dr. Benjamin Romney from providing the care that their minor patients need.

Laws and restrictions for medical care hurt our families, damage our economy, and threaten the very freedom we hold dear. Idaho’s rural communities and young families are feeling the impact the most.
