 Idaho Postpartum Depression Hospital-Based Support Groups

A statewide survey of hospital-based postpartum depression support groups was completed by the Boise State University's College of Education, ECE/ECSE Blended Certificate program. Of 35 birthing hospitals in Idaho, the following have existing programs, or they are developing* postpartum depression support groups:

Bear Lake Memorial, Montpelier 208-847-1630
Caribou Memorial, Soda Springs 208-547-3341
Gritman Medical Center, Moscow 208-883-6385
Kootenai Medical Center*, Coeur d'Alene 208-666-2000
Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, Boise 208-367-7380
Saint Luke's Regional Medical Center, Boise 208-381-2222
Saint Luke's Wood River Medical Center, Ketchum 208-727-8800
Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Lewiston 208-743-2511
Magic Valley Regional Medical Center*, Twin Falls 208-737-2000

Please note that all birthing hospitals use screening tools, provide follow-up phone calls, and refer a woman to her physician if there is a concern. So, if a woman's local hospital is not listed, she still should contact her physician, as other local or nearby qualified resources may be available.
