Sheps Center flags three Idaho hospitals — Power County Hospital District, St. Luke’s Jerome and Cassia Regional Hospital — as at risk because they serve many Medicaid patients and have had three years of losses, and experts warn that if these facilities close or cut services, communities between Twin Falls and Idaho Falls may lose important health care options.
