Bear Lake Memorial Hospital

What Bear Lake Memorial Hospital does

Bear Lake Memorial Hospital (legal name: Bear Lake Memorial Healthcare) is a private community healthcare organization founded in 1950 and headquartered at 164 South 5th Street, Montpelier, Idaho, with a workforce of 101-250 employees. It operates as the primary healthcare provider for the Bear Lake Valley region in southeastern Idaho, delivering a comprehensive suite of services including a 24/7 Emergency Department, inpatient Nursing, Radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound), Laboratory Services, InstaCare urgent care, Family Care/primary care, Specialty Care, Labor and Delivery, Counseling, Therapy Services, and Dialysis and Chemotherapy. Long-term care is delivered through Assisted Living, Home Health, and a Skilled Nursing Facility, giving the organization a full continuum-of-care footprint unusual for a rural hospital.

The business model is direct patient care delivery: services are billed through insurance, self-pay, and government healthcare programs using procedure-code-based pricing, with no publicly disclosed rates. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes a Patient Portal for medical records and appointments, Online Bill Pay via a third-party processor, a Patient Pricing Resource for cost transparency (consistent with the No Surprise Billing Act), and a Medical Records request workflow. Technology is described as a hospital information management system with patient portal access; no proprietary AI/ML systems or differentiated technology assets are identified in the source data.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer within the regional service area, supported by an active blog/news section and a provider directory for patient acquisition and engagement. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and supported by a Foundation and Auxiliary Volunteers, consistent with community hospital governance. One vendor security incident (notification managed by Kroll) affected some patients' protected health information. A new CEO/Administrator was announced in February 2026. Revenue, patient volumes, and bed counts are not disclosed in available materials.
