Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Latah County, with a rate of coronary heart disease prevalence above the Idaho state average.

Phyllis Vettrus recognizes this issue and wants to strengthen our Latah County Community through a philanthropic gift to support Gritman Medical Center’s cardiology services. Vettrus, a retired educator and longtime resident of Moscow, through the Dean L. Vettrus and Phyllis J. Vettrus Living Trust, recently donated $100,000 to the Gritman Foundation, allowing the organization to upgrade 2 of its EKG machines while replacing Cardiac Rehabilitation monitoring equipment that supports multiple patients simultaneously.

She is challenging the greater community to come together and match her gift, enabling Gritman to further invest in heart health services.

“It seems like so many people are required to go to Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. When you have heart issues, that’s not a good trip,” she said. “The more services we have here in our local area, the better off everyone would be.”

We are so grateful to Vettrus for her generosity. If you or someone you know is inspired to support this important initiative, please consider a gift to the Gritman Foundation in support of heart health in our community.

Life can throw a lot at you, and Gritman Medical Center has a lot to offer.

Surgery, physical therapy, diagnostic scans and blood draws, referrals, and just plain routine appointments. Susan Heitstuman and her family have had a lot of needs, and they always come back to Gritman for exceptional care.

“The people at the Moscow Family Medicine Downtown Clinic, all the way down to the receptionists, are so patient and wonderful!,” she says. “They are even good about returning phone calls.”

Gritman Medical Center. Exceptional care, every step of the way.

Marlee Pratt knows how valuable it is to have a physician her children can trust.

Pratt, a Genesee mother of five, takes each of her children to Pediatrician Dr. Steve Bii at Gritman’s Downtown Clinic. The communication, expertise, and compassion he provides were evident during a recent checkup for Pratt’s 2-year-old daughter, Blair.

“We love having Dr. Bii as our pediatrician for our little ones primarily because he listens,” Pratt said. “He is very attentive and always makes sure to ask questions to understand the reason we’re in for a visit. He’s comforting with the kids and always takes their feelings and concerns into consideration. He understands our beliefs and the needs of our large family."

From that first ultrasound to their first steps, Gritman Medical Center’s primary care clinics are with you and your family every step of the way.
