Weiser Memorial Hospital has obtained Hospital Accreditation from the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ)

Weiser, ID – September 9, 2026: Weiser Memorial Hospital has been surveyed by the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) and has successfully met the requirements for Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating compliance with CIHQ Standards and the Conditions of Participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This recognition reflects the hospital’s continuous commitment to safety and quality patient care.

 

Weiser Memorial Hospital was subjected to a rigorous unannounced onsite assessment in July. The CIHQ team toured the hospital, reviewed medical records, observed care practices, and interviewed staff and patients. Healthcare accreditation is not merely a regulatory compliance exercise; it is a strategic driver of operational excellence, patient safety, and organizational culture.

 

Liam Gilmore, WMH Quality & Risk Manager commented, “Weiser Memorial Hospital Leaders and Staff work diligently to deliver safe and quality care to our patients. Our organization prioritizes continuous process improvements and applying best practices. We thank and appreciate all members of the organization, our community, and our patients for helping and supporting us through this process!”

 

“CIHQ’s goal is to partner with hospitals to improve the care provided in our communities,” states Richard Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of CIHQ. “CIHQ is proud to recognize Weiser Memorial Hospital for achieving accreditation.”

Safe Haven

Baby Box

Safe Haven Baby Boxes offer a compassionate and secure option for mothers in crisis who are unable to care for their newborns. Designed with innovative safety features and installed on the exterior walls of fire stations and hospitals, each box ensures the safe and anonymous surrender of infants. The exterior door locks automatically when a newborn is placed inside, and an interior door allows medical personnel to promptly and securely retrieve the baby, ensuring immediate care and protection. Safe Haven Baby Boxes are a vital resource, providing a lifeline for mothers and a safe beginning for their newborns.

 

Weiser Memorial Hospital’s

Safe Haven Baby Box is located at

645 E 5th St by the ambulance bay awning.



When an infant is surrendered at this location, our 24/7 Emergency Department staff will be alerted. This means they can immediately receive the infant and assess them medically. Staff will ensure the infant is cared for and contact Child Protective Services, who will begin the adoption process once the infant is cleared medically.

“If we can save just one life,

it’s all worth it.”
