Invitation to Participate in a Focus Group
We invite you to participate in a focus group conducted by Rural Health Innovations, LLC, a subsidiary of the National Rural Health Resource Center on behalf of North Shore Health and Sawtooth Mountain Clinic. Focus groups are an excellent way for community members to share their opinions in an honest yet confidential environment. The goal of this focus group is to assist both North Shore Health and Sawtooth Mountain Clinic in identifying strengths and needs of health services for the region.
This information will be used for strategic planning, grant applications, new programs and by community groups interested in addressing health in the region. This process will help to maintain quality health care in the community. We seek participants living in the area that represent different groups of health care users including seniors, family caregivers, business leaders, and health care providers. Whether you or a family member are involved with local health care services or not, this is your chance to help guide high quality local health services in the future.
We offer four different focus groups. Please select the day, time, and location that is most convenient for you. Once you confirm the focus group you would like to attend, we will send an Outlook invitation to you. This invitation will also include an attachment that identifies the questions that will be asked during the session.
