Idaho has a severe healthcare workforce shortage across most health professions, and these shortages may be more magnified depending on the county. The Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health is helping to address this workforce shortage by helping 15 Idaho schools launch or expand their career technical education (CTE) programs that focus on health professions. The grants, which totaled more than $567,000, were awarded to the following schools:
- American Falls School District
- Boise Public Schools
- Butte School District
- Cassia Joint School District
- Elevate Academy North
- Firth School District
- Jerome School District
- Kamiah Joint School District
