Eye-Health Gap: A new survey finds many Idahoans are skipping routine eye care—22% haven’t seen an optometrist in a year, and 40,064 Idaho residents are reported to have visual disabilities—raising alarms that people wait until problems feel obvious. Child Welfare Legal Shock: The Idaho Supreme Court says a 2025 law could delay adoption and parental termination cases by creating a gap in public defense for some private proceedings. Medicare Access Pressure: Idaho hospice agencies are reacting to a nationwide Medicare freeze on new hospice and home health enrollments, warning rural communities may lose options even if existing providers keep serving patients. Local Care Expansion: Encompass Health announced plans for a 50-bed inpatient rehab hospital in Post Falls, targeting opening in 2028. Safety & Health in the News: A dust-storm five-vehicle crash near Soda Springs sent three people to hospital; and rodent sightings in the Treasure Valley are up, but officials say hantavirus risk remains low. Health Tech Watch: Boise State researchers unveiled a portable PFAS detector for near real-time water testing.
