Funding Impact
Improving Quality of Care
The funding will be specifically used for costs to build an ambulance shelter and on-call staff living quarters for use by Air St. Luke’s staff. For the purpose of improving transfer response time, protecting the current District owned ambulance asset, from the harsh weather elements, and for safely securing and protecting the medications and supplies within the ambulance.
Improving Access to Care
The ambulance on-call staff living quarters will allow for the ability to utilize staff from various locations across Idaho. Staff can be hired and housed during their working shifts in the living quarters associated with the ambulance shelter. Staffing practices across St. Luke’s Health System have shown improved recruitment efforts and retention when living quarters are offered while employees are on shift.
Construction of the ambulance shelter and on-call staff living quarters will begin in spring of 2025.
