Hagadone Corp., Kootenai Health launch employer-friendly clinic partnership

Kootenai Health was set to take over management of the Hagadone Medical Clinic on July 1, a handoff that keeps the employer-based clinic in The Resort Plaza Shops at The Coeur d’Alene Resort but adds a larger local health system behind it. Hagadone Corp. said the clinic, established in 2023, already gave eligible health plan members and covered dependents no-cost access to everyday care, chronic disease management, medications and lab services.

The new arrangement was designed to keep the clinic useful for workers who need care without leaving the jobsite area. Under Kootenai Health, patients were expected to gain access to specialty providers, integrated medical records and broader care coordination, while still using a clinic built around primary care, minor illness and injury treatment, preventive visits and ongoing support.

That model had already shown up in North Idaho as a workplace benefit with tangible reach. At its August 2023 opening, about 100 people attended, and a later business profile said the clinic served Hagadone Corp.’s 1,931 employees. That same profile said the on-site pharmacy stocked about 300 medicines for common needs, underscoring that the clinic was meant to handle more than a basic office visit.

Hagadone Corp. described the clinic as part of a company that includes The Coeur d’Alene Press, The Coeur d’Alene Resort, The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course, Hagadone Hospitality, Hagadone Marine Group and Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises, along with related affiliates. The clinic’s early footprint was recognized in 2023 with a Civil Rights Award from the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations for providing free primary medical care to eligible employees and family members.

The transfer to Kootenai Health also placed Hagadone’s clinic alongside a growing local trend. Kootenai County opened its own employee clinic operated by PMR Healthcare, and local reporting in 2025 said more employers were turning to clinics without copays or deductibles. In that context, the Hagadone partnership looked less like a one-off perk and more like a test case for whether larger Kootenai County employers will keep copying a model that ties health access, workforce retention and local medical capacity together.
