"Highly respected, talented physicians are leaving," Bonner General Health in Sandpoint, Idaho, said in a release."Recruiting replacements will be extraordinarily difficult."Women who would use the 25-bed hospital for labor and delivery services will have to seek care at facilities in Spokane, Washington, or Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, according to a report.
Many challenges have hampered rural facilities struggling to keep their doors open, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Idaho has heavy abortion restrictions, causing many healthcare professionals in the state to be placed in an ethical bind.
