Clinical Services

Southeastern Idaho Public Health (SIPH) is dedicated to serving the communities of our 8 county district. We believe in providing non-judgmental, holistic care, that helps promote every client’s well-being and improves our client’s overall health. We empower all of our clients to find meaningful solutions to their healthcare needs. If we don’t offer a service that our clients need, we will link them to other community resources that can.

One of SIPH’s main priorities is to maintain confidentiality for all of our clients, including teens. We invite teens and adolescents to visit our offices if they need to discuss STI prevention, birth control options and other heatlh concerns with our caring providers.

We offer in-person office visits as well as telehealth visits for certain appointment types. Clinical Services are provided by appointment only. Same-day appointments may be available. Please call your local public health office.
