The Family Medicine Residency Program brings new doctors and clinical pharmacists to the state of Idaho and is one of the few clinics accepting new Medicaid patients. Currently, there are 17 residents in the program.

This year we are raising funds to benefit the older citizens in our community who depend on Family Practice for their health care.  A team of skilled educators provides specialized training to Family Medicine doctors who are taking care of aging patients.

The honorary chair of this year's Medicine Ball is Linda Hatzenbuehler, Vice President, ISU Division of Health Sciences. Hatzenbuheler, along with a host of co-chairmen, invite the community to the Medicine Ball. 

Come to the party!  Reserve the dining option of your choice now. The Medicine Ball sold out last year. Don't wait–early sales have been excellent.
