Back-to-School Support for Families 

Idaho has the highest percentage nationwide of students without all four major vaccines, and we know that children who are not immunized can spread vaccine-preventable diseases at school and throughout our communities.

Our state’s low childhood immunization ranking has led us to explore innovative ways to encourage families to choose to vaccinate.

Also, we see that 78% of our patient population is considered low-income and faces challenges obtaining basic needs like food, clothing, health care, and school supplies.

This is why, during our 2024 back-to-school immunization appointments, we're providing backpacks filled with school supplies.

Once a child receives their immunizations at our larger clinics, they are gifted a backpack, colored pencils, crayons, two notebooks, pencils, and healthy snacks provided by D & B Supply.

Special thanks to St. Luke’s, Idaho Central Credit Union, and a private donor who made this project possible!

We are overjoyed by the outcome of this year's Stella's Ice Cream Fundraising Campaign.

Thank you to everyone who ordered a scoop of our special birthday flavor during the month of June. And a huge thank you to Stella's Ice Cream for partnering with us to support our Early Childhood Development program.

This program focuses on regular wellness visits, immunizations and developmental screenings to ensure children are in the best position to thrive when starting school.

Terry Reilly's Early Childhood Development Program in Action

Mia's Story

Our Early Childhood Care Coordinators work closely with families when patients aged up to 5 years old screen positive for developmental delays. The aim is to connect them with the support they need, as in the case of our little neighbor Mia. Thanks to a regular childhood wellness visit and screenings, she is getting support to address issues with hearing and autism.

Mia's mom is navigating motherhood alone and striving to do her best despite the uphill climb to meet Mia's needs. Transportation was a monumental barrier since she did not have a car seat. 

Our Terry Reilly coordinator was able to provide a safe ride with a car seat for Mia and her mom, ensuring they could keep an important pediatric appointment vital for managing all of Mia's health concerns. 

Once at Terry Reilly, other needs were identified and addressed. They took home a food box with meals, diapers, wipes, and bathroom training supplies. Additionally, our case manager worked with Mia's mother to schedule a dental appointment and Mia's audiology and autism specialist appointments. 

Afterward, we took Mom and Mia to the fire department to pick up Mia's first car seat! Now, Mia and her mom can safely make it to all of her appointments.  

City of Middleton officials, Cheryl Altice, Public Health Analyst, HRSA Region 10 – Seattle, and the Idaho Community Health Center Association celebrated with us as we cut the ribbon on our new Middleton Pharmacy located in our Middleton Clinic. 

All Terry Reilly Pharmacies utilize the 340B Pharmacy Program, which gives us significantly discounted prices from prescription drug manufacturers. This means we can offer medications at a price more affordable for our patients. The new Middleton Terry Reilly pharmacy is focused on our patients, but also serves the general community. 

Delta Dental Donates $13,980 for

Mobile Van X-ray

Thanks to a grant from Delta Dental of Idaho, we're able to purchase new X-ray sensors for our mobile dental vehicle. This support is one of the keys to providing affordable, high-quality care to everyone - especially those struggling to afford dental care.

Delta Dental also offers a program for families without dental insurance called GrinWell. Our Patient Navigators often assist people with applications.

Here's one of the GrinWell success stories from Parma, where we provide mobile dental care twice a month at the school district office parking lot. This comes from a school employee.

“It has been such a blessing! She is one of our students that NEEDS this service so badly! I let everyone know what an asset it is to have your organization so readily available here in our community. Students can't perform in OR out of the classroom if they are in pain.”

Quality Recognition

Seamless Front Desk Relay Award 

On August 8th, TRHS had a federal site visit for our Title X Family Planning program. Part of the site visit was to walk alongside a patient at Nampa 1st. This included an in-depth review of our check-in and check-out processes that are standard at all of our clinics. 

The front desk staff at Nampa 1st knocked it out of the park! We were notified by the State Title X program that our front desk team received federal recognition, the "Seamless Front Desk Relay," award.

"I wanted to recognize how well the front desk staff helped bilingual staff check in and easily swapped clients between each other if one staff member didn’t speak the language. Well done!" - Iris Wong, Project Officer, Title X Family Planning Program, Office of Population Affairs.

Our Nampa 16th Clinic's Urgent Care Services moved to our Nampa 1st location on August 5th.

This provides patients formerly seen at Nampa 16th access to complete primary care services for the entire family, including medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy. All at one location!

Elected officials and other stakeholders attended an open house at Allumbaugh House on June 12 to learn more about how the facility helps people facing substance use or mental health crises, especially those with financial barriers.

During the open house, Archie, pictured in the middle, shared his recovery story. 

He explained how emotional neglect from his father, who battled alcohol addiction, led him to smoke marijuana at age 13. Later he turned to meth and hard drugs, " I thought if I could get someone just to want to be with me, then maybe I wouldn't be using these drugs." 

Archie says he hit rock bottom in 2015, lying in a hospital bed with cirrhosis of the liver and failing kidneys. Doctors told him to get his affairs in order because he only had a week to live. In his most vulnerable moment, he prayed to God, asking for help.

Once stabilized, he checked himself into Allumbaugh House for detox. Through his dedication to recovery, Archie feels he gained a new capacity to establish and build friendships that helped him continue his journey of sobriety.

Today, Archie believes his purpose is to support people on the road to recovery as he works with Allumbaugh patients to share hope and support. 

Allumbaugh House, operated by Terry Reilly Health Services, provides 24/7 care to more than 750 individuals a year from Ada, Boise, Valley, and Elmore Counties at no cost to the patient. 

To support people receiving care at Allumbaugh House, you can give an in-kind gift of coffee, powdered coffee creamer, fruit juices, or cereal. Call 208-377-9669 to arrange a drop-off. Additionally, donations are always welcome online or by mail.  

Thank you notes from Allambaugh House Allumi's are often shared and posted on our gratitude and recovery wall. One patient shared that Allumbaugh House saved their life.

Within the last year, we have welcomed six new Terry Reilly board members. Be sure to check out next quarter's newsletters to meet more of our new members.

​To ensure we are meeting the needs of our patients and communities, 51% of Terry Reilly’s Board of Directors is made up of Terry Reilly patients. To that end, more than half of our board members are active consumers of our services.

Charles Chodroff MD, MBA, FACP

Serving on the Terry Reilly Health Services board allows me to use my background as a physician to ensure people have access to excellent, affordable health care services. More specifically, I am using four decades of experience in large healthcare organizations to offer guidance, support, and oversight to the management team. I am very familiar with the staffing and workflows necessary to ensure quality services.

Federally Qualified Health Centers offer essential services that address the unique needs of a diverse community in a compassionate, culturally appropriate way. I hope my service on the board assists the staff of Terry Reilly in fulfilling its mission to the communities we serve. 

As of 2024, I am on the board of directors for the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) and the Saint Alphonsus Health Plan. I previously served as Chief Clinical Officer for WellSpan Health (1986-2020) and as President of Saint Alphonsus Health Alliance (2021-2023). 

Deborah Troncale

My family moved to Caldwell in 2005. My husband and I live on a farm; he is a rancher and alfalfa farmer. I have used Terry Reilly Behavioral Health Services since 2007.

Serving the community has become increasingly important to me after my diagnosis of stage three breast cancer in 2021. I am currently in remission; I feel very fortunate to be where I am. I know firsthand how important access to good health care is because of the cancer. I cannot image what it would have been like to not have high-quality, accessible care during that really difficult time of my life.

One of the things that I am very passionate about is Behavioral Health Services. Providing behavioral health services to those in need can dramatically change the direction of a person's life. I am a full-time caregiver for many members of my family. The Behavioral Health Services I receive at Terry Reilly not only have had a positive impact on myself but also on my family. Being a part of the TRHS Board of Directors allows me to contribute to the community by supporting Terry Reilly Health Services good work.
