This hospital was previously part of the Essentia Health organization based in Minnesota. In April of 2020, Kootenai Health Organization of North Idaho acquired Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics (Purchase of, 2020).

Kootenai Health has also provided cardiopulmonary services to Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics. A. Impact on Growth The acquisition of Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics will have a significant impact on patient care in the Clearwater region.
