History

History of Bonner General Hospital
Bonner General Hospital was incorporated in 1949 and has a colorful if not watery beginning The original hospital was an old infirmary building used at the once active Farragut Naval Training Station located on the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille In 1949 this singlestory wooden structure was barged 25 miles up Lake Pend Oreille to its current location

Even though the hospital was rebuilt decades ago it still sits on its original site along the banks of Sand Creek

In 1992 Creekside Health Center was built to provide a unique physicians complex which houses various medical practices as well as a large wellequipped conference room
