About NIIM
Question Answer
Where did you get your vision for NIIM? After Kimberly’s own health struggles, she and her husband decided a place needed to exist for our modern-day medical climate—one where science is challenged and new ideas are brought to the forefront. It is not enough to simply seek medical attention, but it is necessary to be believed, supported, and feel like you are a part of the decision-making process. NIIM has access to local providers and clinics, and is in a unique position to bring cutting-edge medical options to Northern Idaho along with an integrative team approach to help prevent and treat disease processes, improving overall life satisfaction and function.
What sets you apart from other practices? NIIM unapologetically is a medical freedom-based clinic with a core belief in our savior Jesus Christ. We are a veteran-owned company that actively seeks to hire veterans. While we do not expect everyone who walks in our doors to share our belief system, we strive to be Christlike in our approach to every patient. Our clinic passionately supports veterans, active duty, and first responders, upholding the belief that “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). We aim to serve our community, support families, lift our brothers and sisters in Christ, spread the gospel, love all people, and restore those who fight and protect us. We welcome you in that journey.
