Health Care Programs and Services
Carondelet House
The Carondelet House has 27 rooms. Radiation oncology patients and families comprise the majority of the stays. In addition, families of patients who are critically ill can stay here to be close to a loved one. The Carondelet House is operated on a donation-only basis.
Road to Health Diorama
In 1984, the Foundation adopted a unique way to recognize people or groups who make a contribution in any form to the Foundation. The 15-foot bronze sculpture "Road to Health" is located outside diagnostic imaging, near the elevator on the main floor of the medical center. The bronze depicts a pioneer physician in a horse-drawn buggy making house calls. Personal recognition is shown by inscribing contributors' names on the different bricks that represent the paved road and on the bricks attached to the surrounding boulders, trees, hills, stars and sun.
Contact the Foundation
The Foundation office can assist you or your organization, your family or your loved ones with the placement that represents their particular level of giving. Confirmation will be given to all contributors that their inscribed brick will forever remain on the "Road to Health."
Please contact the Foundation office at 208-799-5416, or any one of the Trustees if you have any questions about the Foundation.
