This week, the River City Leadership Academy Class of 2026 spent the day exploring healthcare across our region as part of their Healthcare Day. Their day included a 90-minute stop at Kootenai Health where they met with CEO Jamie Smith for a presentation and Q and A. Afterward, they were off for guided tours of our Emergency Department, Lab, and Family Birth Center, offering a behind the scenes look at how care is delivered every day across our organization.

Hosted by the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce, River City Leadership Academy exists to identify and involve future leaders while helping participants grow their leadership skills and better understand the systems that shape our community. Since 2009, more than 300 local leaders have graduated from the program and continue making meaningful impacts throughout North Idaho.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with this group and be part of developing the leaders who will help guide the future of our community.

Fevers can be scary, especially when it involves your child. Here are a few helpful guidelines on when it might be time to seek emergency care.

• Less than 3 months old
If your baby has a fever of 100.4°F or higher, it is best to have them evaluated right away.

• Less than 2 years old
If your child has had a fever for more than 24 hours, is unusually hard to wake or is not drinking fluids.

• Older than 2 years old
If a fever lasts longer than three days or is accompanied by severe symptoms.

• Any age
If your child has a temperature of 104°F or higher, has trouble breathing or seems unusually drowsy or confused, emergency care is important.

If you are ever unsure, trust your instincts. Our team is here to help day or night.
