Elks Rehab and St. Luke's fuel rehab services

During a recent Idaho State Elks Association summer convention in Moscow, Idaho Elks Rehab awarded a $2.15 million grant to St. Luke's Health Foundation to support physical rehab services.

"Through the funding from this grant, St. Luke's is helping Idaho Elks Rehab fulfill our mission of advancing physical rehab in Idaho," said Robert Shaw, chairman of the board of Idaho Elks Rehab and member of the Coeur d'Alene Elks Lodge. "Providing this funding to the largest healthcare provider in Idaho will have a tremendous impact on patients needing rehab."

"This grant will allow St. Luke's to continue to build upon the Elks' 69-year legacy and tradition of providing exceptional physical rehabilitation services for Idahoans," said Kathy Moore, CEO of St. Luke's West Region.

Idaho Elks Rehab, the state project of the Idaho Elks Association, made the transition last year from serving as a long-time operator of rehabilitation healthcare to a new emphasis of funding physical rehab across the state. The organization awards grants to not-for-profit rehab providers, educators and researchers throughout Idaho for state-of-the-art equipment and to support program development, staff education and research.
