We are an organization of independent physicians in Idaho. We own our practices so we are free to join our patients in choosing their best health care options.

We believe that patients should enjoy a high degree of control of their own medical care, including selecting their physicians and their medical facilities.

We believe patients should have choices in treatment decisions shaped by information, independent of potentially conflicting interests.

We believe that patients should have knowledge of the most affordable and efficient options, as health care costs are often hidden or confusing.

We believe that informed patients are optimally positioned to make intelligent choices.

We, the independent physicians of Idaho, declare that our commitments are to our patients and their personal care. Keeping our patients healthy and living independently are our goals.

We work for you.
