About Challis Area Health Center – Challis
Challis Area Health Center operates from 611 Clinic Road in Challis. The site sits in Custer County, which shapes which public funding routes apply. The practical catchment runs wider than the city limits, taking in people who travel in rather than finding care on their doorstep.
Outpatient care is delivered here, alongside telehealth appointments. Which level fits depends on the assessment rather than on what is available, so the useful first question is what that assessment involves. Care offered spans more than one level, which means someone can move between them without changing provider.

Treatment Services at Challis Area Health Center
Outpatient care runs to a set weekly schedule, with evenings and weekends spent at home. That suits people holding down work or caring responsibilities, though it asks more of someone managing early recovery alone. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.
Ask what happens at the end of the program as well as the beginning, since that is where plans usually thin out. Assessment decides the level of care, so ask what that involves and how quickly it can happen. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.

Challis Area Health Center Address, Location and Contact Information
The address is 611 Clinic Road, Challis, ID 83226, in Custer County. Confirm what a program covers before traveling in, since the level of care listed is not always the level with capacity. It is worth checking which entrance to use and where parking sits before a first appointment.
Telehealth appointments cover some contact where travel is difficult, which removes part of the journey for people further out. Ask what a first appointment involves and how long the current wait runs before making the trip. Waiting times vary with capacity, so call ahead rather than arriving unannounced.

5 stars tied to 1st impressions; visited on a midweek afternoon in August. Clean & tidy. Liked assigned PA-C.
We had a fantastic experience at the medical center in Challis. Extremely kind staff, very helpful, and great at their jobs. Thank you to everyone for all their help!
We were camping in the area from out of town and needed urgent care for one of our kids. I called and they said come right in, we’ll fit you in. When we got there, they were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met.… They were accommodating and compassionate. They could do X-rays on site which was so helpful. The great PA, Miles, stayed late to get us all fixed up. It was a super place. I’d give it more than 5 stars.
I've always gotten good service. Great people working there.
Great staff, very professional.
I have lived in Challis for 31 years. I've always had the best experiences with the Challis Area Health Clinic. Our family is very appreciative to have such a fantastic, professional clinic here in the valley. Great job… everyone at the clinic!! And speaking from experience, the EMT crew is awesome!! They were very experienced and extremely caring when we needed a family member taken to the ER in Salmon. Thank you Jon, Lance, and Judy, you're the best!!! And how wonderful is it to have an After Hours call line? The Provider on call, Chad Banks PA, was quick to call us back and give needed support. Thanks again everyone!
Wonderful staff! They took care of my son when he had a severe head injury the other year and I am so thankful for them. Love them as my family's primary care also.
From my personal experiences here, the providers and staff are very accommodating, and caring. I saw Chad Banks for allergies and he was very thorough and addressed all my concerns. I also had to get covid tested here,… and the provider was very calming when my test came back positive. A lot shorter wait than my experiences having to go to Salmon.
The staff at the Challis Area Health Center are AWESOME! Local people that really care about our community and patient care. Thanks for all that you do !!!!
We are from out of town and had some concerns for one of our kiddos. I called and they were so nice to make a same day appointment for me. They were so helpful, got us what we needed and got medicine.
The staff here are so nice, and so helpful! I'll know where to go the next time I need an appointment!
Called to get a covid test at 1pm because I was exposed and have symptoms. Was told the lab tech would call me back. No call. Total incompetency
Incompetent and slow. Just go to Salmon.
Don't even know where to start what a joke
I have never had anything but a fantastic experience with any of the staff/ providers.
We are so lucky to have our little clinic. We're happy to see all the great new changes. The addition of the after hours care line, the digital x-rays, and new providers! Thank you!
