No matter how your heart is feeling, our experienced clinicians across the Gritman Medical Center system remain committed to keeping you close to home for your care and recovery.

We're proud to offer a range of cardiac care services right here on the Palouse, and our experienced clinicians utilize the latest technology, including EKGs, cardiac imaging and state-of-the-art patient monitoring equipment.

Phyllis Vettrus, a retired educator and longtime resident of Moscow, recently donated $100,000 to the Gritman Foundation to support Gritman Medical Center’s cardiology services, allowing us to upgrade 2 EKG machines and replace Cardiac Rehabilitation monitoring equipment, a long-term investment into heart health services here on the Palouse.

You never know what your heart might need. Our hospital and clinic teams support you for every possibility, partnering with organizations across the region to ensure you are treated quickly, using the most advanced equipment, and with the highest level of compassionate care.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Fields, who was recently named the 2026 Advocate of the Year by the Idaho Academy of Family Physicians! The organization praised him for reducing barriers to care, and for his “sustained, courageous, and patient-centered advocacy on behalf of individuals and communities often marginalized in the health care system.”

Dr. Fields has been practicing as a Family Medicine physician at Gritman’s Westside Clinic since 2021. He centers his clinical work on complex conditions including “chronic pain, hepatitis C and fibromyalgia – expanding access to care and treating patients with dignity, respect and evidence-based compassion,” according to his nomination.

Last year, Dr. Fields founded a Gritman-based support group for patients with fibromyalgia that empowers participants with the condition to support one another outside of the clinic environment.

"Family Medicine provides an amazing opportunity to interface with people in a variety of ways. We hope to continue looking for ways to innovate and provide better care for our patients,” Dr. Fields said. “I am very lucky to be surrounded by a great team and it is good to see that our work is making a difference. This award is gratifying and humbling, and I hope to keep pushing for progress in our community and throughout Idaho."

Please join us in expressing condolences to the family and friends of longtime Gritman Medical Center supporter, auxilian, and Board Member Emerita, Janie Nirk, who passed away and joined her beloved husband, Ron, on March 25, 2026.

Janie was a vibrant and valued member of our greater community in so many ways. She taught in the Potlatch School District for more than 30 years and joined the Gritman Auxiliary after retirement. She served several terms on our Board of Directors and was named a Board Member Emerita for her dedicated service.

Her support over the years allowed Gritman to invest in services, such as the Potlatch Family Clinic, outpatient dialysis, community wellness programs, and advanced technology equipment including a significant echocardiogram gift and employee match in 2019.

Janie was instrumental in raising funds for the Idaho Hospital Association's Political Action Committee (PAC) and, in 2021, she was awarded the Leader of Volunteer Excellence (LOVE) Award by the Idaho Hospital Association for her dedication and support of health care in our community.

Janie was a lifelong supporter of health and education and a dedicated advocate for our community. She made everyone feel special. We are so grateful for her generosity, kindness, witty sense of humor, and her many contributions to the Palouse and the Gritman Family over so many years.

Gritman Electronic Systems Coming Back Online Following Cybersecurity Incident -
No Data Compromised

Operations across the Gritman Medical Center System are coming back online following a cybersecurity incident and systems outage this week that forced the closure of several offices and clinics across the organization.

Gritman QuickCARE, a walk-in clinic, was able to reopen Friday with normal operations and it will remain open through Saturday. QuickCARE will be closed Sunday in observance of Easter. If you are having a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the Gritman Medical Center Emergency Department.

We apologize for the inconvenience this outage has caused. We are working diligently to get our systems back up as quickly as possible. We plan to resume normal clinic operations on Monday, April 6.
