POCATELLO As COVID restrictions are loosening up around the state, some regional hospitals have seen an uptick in challenges over their safety protocols.
One such hospital is Portneuf Medical Center (PMC), which, according to spokeswoman Mary Keating, has had patients and visitors argue with National Guardsman handling screening since the Pocatello City Council lifted the city-wide mask mandate on April 26.
“There’s definitely been enough questions that it is time to remind the community that we still are focused on providing the highest level of care in the safest way we can. And that is still adhering to CDC guidelines,” Keating told EastIdahoNews.com.

McCAMMON – A community garden project getting underway in McCammon aims to give elementary students a hands-on learning experience.
Construction on the half-acre garden is slated to begin later this summer next to Mountain View Elementary at 704 Center Street.
Aaron Hunsaker is one of seven people on the McCammon Action Council, the committee that’s spearheading the project. He tells EastIdahoNews.com the role the garden will play is still being fleshed out, but he envisions it becoming “an outdoor classroom for the school.”
