We spent the past two days at the Idaho Rural Success Summit in Pocatello, hearing from leaders across the state about the best success stories communities have experienced this year.

Conversations ranged from attainable housing to community health workers, vibrant Main Streets, and creating places where people feel connected and supported.

We were especially proud to see several of our grant partners sharing their own success stories, including Idaho AEYC, the Caldwell Comprehensive Plan effort, LEAP Housing, and more.

A good reminder that healthy communities are shaped by far more than healthcare alone. They are built through strong partnerships, local leadership, and investments in the places people live, work, and gather.
