Portneuf Medical Center

This structure ensures both community mission alignment and operational support from a larger health system. The medical center offers nursing career opportunities across multiple specialties including Medical/Surgical, ICU, Operating Room, and Critical Care, and maintains a Nurse Residency program for early-career RNs. Working as a nurse at Portneuf involves delivering care through the nursing process in accordance with hospital policies, responding to life-threatening situations with appropriate interventions, and coordinating care through prioritization, delegation, and communication with providers and leadership. The organization emphasizes its community roots through initiatives like the 'Proud to Be Portneuf' employee discount program, which partners with local businesses to offer perks to staff.

The mission of Portneuf Health Trust and the Medical Center is to enhance and improve the health of southeastern Idaho and surrounding areas. The joint venture governance model between PHT and Ardent Health Services reflects a commitment to aligning mission and resources for community health improvement, with both boards participating equally in strategic decision-making.
