Meridian Grand Opening

It's official! The new Terry Reilly clinic in Meridian, 3115 E. Florence Dr., is open!

Medical and Behavioral Health appointments are being booked. The Pharmacy is open, and the Dental team has been busy seeing patients as well. 

We determined the need for a new medical, dental, and behavioral health clinic in Meridian based on our annual needs assessment. Within the assessment, we utilize the Area Deprivation Score (ADI) to determine the community's need for increased services. Looking at socioeconomic status, household conditions, and housing stock allows a glimpse into what contributes to the overall score. 

Our Meridian Clinic will provide care to meet the health challenges of the area. The area has: 

• Higher than the State average for sexually transmitted infections
• Higher than the State and National rate of cancer
• A year-over-year increase in adult obesity
• Higher than State and National high blood pressure rates
• An increasing rate of low birth weight babies year-over-year

In addition to negative health outcomes. The population growth and the increasing cost of living make healthcare services difficult to afford. According to newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Meridian is among the 15 fastest-growing cities in the U.S. 

With the influx of new Idaho residents over the past three years and the housing shortage, the cost of housing has increased by over 400%, leaving many Idaho residents, specifically Idaho natives, with challenges of affording their basic needs like healthcare services.

Terry Reilly provides on-site social services, medical treatment, and life skills training at New Path Community Housing in Boise.

There are success stories every day! For example, one of the residents at New Path was the tour guide for Boise Mayor Lauren McLean during the open house for the new nearby CATCH, Inc. building.

CATCH is a New Path partner also providing social services and permanent housing solutions.

Doing Good One Scoop at a Time

L to R: Eric Toscan-Stella's, Savannah D'Orazio-TR, Claudia Weathmon-TR, Rosie Reilly-TR Co-Founder & Board Member, and Chad Hartley-Stella's.

The Cherry Reilly promotion with Stella's Ice Cream was a sweet success! Fifty cents from each scoop of the Cherry Reilly flavor sold in May was donated to the fund to help build our new Trauma & Resilience Center Therapy Gardens. Thank you, Stella's, and thank you to ALL the ice cream lovers that bought the treats. It was not only a fundraiser but an opportunity to raise awareness about Terry Reilly's mission in the community.

Dan Smith, Idaho Power's Customer Representative of Energy Efficiencies, presented an employee fund donation of $2,500 on Monday, August 21st, to Terry Reilly Health Services. 

Idaho Power Employees donated to three service areas: Medical, Dental, and SANE Solutions Funds. SANE stands for Sexual Abuse Now Ended-- this fund helps provide behavioral health therapy to those who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse. Thank you, Idaho Power Employees, for helping us remove the financial barriers that keep our community from receiving the health services they need. 

Dr. “Ern” Teuber, Former Terry Reilly CEO 

Dr. Ern Teuber recently passed away after a 30-year professional career dedicated to community health centers.

Ern was Terry Reilly's Executive Director from 1986 to 2009.

Under his leadership, Terry Reilly's clinic locations were greatly expanded. The Boise 23rd Clinic opened in 1988 and Boise Dental opened in 2000. The Melba Clinic was established in 2002, followed by Homedale Dental in 2003. Our Caldwell Clinic began providing primary care in 2006.

He also established the Bob LeBow Bike Tour, a long-running annual event that raised money for the Patient Assistance Fund.

He was recognized for his legacy in October 2010, being awarded the Dr. Bob LeBow Community Health Award. He directed the $500 award to the Terry Reilly Patient Assistance Fund.

Local Artist Donates to Terry Reilly

Meet Ray Johnson, a Nampa native who creates art that looks like quilts and donates his earnings to Terry Reilly's Patient Assistance Fund and other community health centers.

Barn quilt art is based on traditional Amish designs. The colorful pieces created by Ray are displayed not only on barns, but on sheds, fences, homes, and businesses, too.

Ray's family has deep roots in agriculture. He worked in the family hop fields near Huston, Idaho when he was young.

The hours were long during harvest season and he worked alongside seasonal farmworkers. That's when he learned about the barriers they experienced finding housing and healthcare.

Compassion grew from that experience and is the reason why he donates. As of this month, Ray has raised more than $10,000 for Terry Reilly, Adams County Health Clinic, and Riggins Health Clinic.



Ray is currently taking custom-made orders in hopes of raising more for community health centers.

Back to School Immunization Clinic

The Nampa 1st clinic was a hive of activity for a special Back to School Immunization Event on Saturday, August 12th.

The Idaho Immunization Law requires that children of grades pre-school through 12 shall provide proof of immunization or sign an exemption at the time of initial enrollment in an Idaho school. Many children who received their vaccines at our clinic risked missing the first day of school due to their immunization status. Providing our vaccination clinic outside of traditional hours helps accommodate busy lives and allows parents to immunize their children just in time for school.

Families lined up and waited for the doors to open, and the reception area was packed all day. Our team administered almost 200 vaccines in addition to completing well-child checks, dental screenings, and sports physicals. Many of our appointments were made possible through our Sliding Fee Scale which allows parents to pay only what they can afford. Well-child visits are a health measure that can prevent children from facing unnecessary medical burdens in the future.

Misty Robinson, one of our registered dental hygienists, screened children for tooth decay. This Medical Dental Integration model aims to increase access and reduce oral health disparities and dental disease of patients in the Terry Reilly Health Services network.

We had a full team of schedulers on hand to book appointments, and, for families with other needs, our patient navigators screened for Social Determinants of Health and coordinated other supportive services to meet the needs of patients without medical coverage. 



Another unique feature of the day was a room that employees stocked with donated clothing and shoes for

families to take if needed. 

Homedale Grand Opening

July 27, 2023, we marked the day as a celebration of the opening of our fully integrated Homedale Clinic. This project is a dream that has come to fruition for our leaders and the community in Homedale.

56% of Owyhee county residents work but still are income-constrained (United for ALICE). Our clinic will allow families and individuals to access their needed healthcare appointments by using our Sliding Fee Scale and our Patient Assistance Fund, which is available to those in financial crisis.

By improving access to care, we will see an improvement in the health outcomes for the individuals in Homedale. We expect that by providing our services, we will be promoting and maintaining good health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability, hospital stays, and premature death, and achieving health equity for Homedale.

Our Foundation works hard to identify partners and supporters and include them as key proponents of our mission of providing accessible, high-quality healthcare to everyone.

We want to highlight a special thanks to our partners and individual donors who have helped us build a debt-free Homedale clinic. Your support allows us to allocate more funds to our patients so that they can receive the care they need. The lives that will be bettered in Homedale say “thank you” better than we ever could.

Gente House Historic Anniversary

On August 26, 2015, the Nampa Preservation and Historic Committee named the Gente House, 216 12th Ave. N., a historic landmark.

Gente House (House of the People) was the birthplace of Terry Reilly Health Services.

Terry Reilly was sent to Nampa by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise to help provide services to the farmworker community.

Working out of the house, Terry began to research and address some of the needs of the community. Gente House quickly became a neighborhood center for children, providing a tutoring program created by Terry himself.

Terry began to notice that many of the children who came for tutoring seemed to have chronic conditions that were being ignored. He convinced local pediatrician Dr. Clarence McIntyre to volunteer his services and open a clinic in the back of Gente House. Dr. McIntyre agreed and the clinic opened on May 1st, 1971.

​

With a growing demand for services, a federal grant allowed for the creation of Community Health Clinics, Inc. Terry, his wife Rosie, and several staff members soon purchased space in the Square Deal Grocery Store building, which remains the site of the original Nampa clinic.
