DALLAS & BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 20, 2026--

Concentra ® (NYSE: CON), the nation's leader in occupational and workforce health services, today announced the opening of its first Idaho medical center, expanding access to workforce health solutions for employers and employees throughout the Boise region.

The new medical center is in Federal Way Plaza at 3237 South Federal Way, Boise, Idaho 83705, providing convenient access for employers and employees throughout the city and the surrounding Treasure Valley region. Located near Boise Airport and major transportation routes, Concentra Boise Airport is well positioned to serve employers in many of the region's fastest growing industries.

The Boise opening expands Concentra's footprint as it extends its presence into Idaho and represents an important milestone in the company's continued expansion across the West, with plans already underway for a second location in nearby Meridian, opening later this year. As Idaho experiences sustained population growth, business investment and workforce expansion, Concentra is investing in local access to occupational health services that help employers build healthier, safer and more productive workforces. Concentra's arrival brings nearly five decades of occupational health expertise and comprehensive workforce health services to help Idaho employers meet those challenges.

“As Boise continues to grow, we are committed to creating a community where our residents and families can live, work, and grow," said Boise Mayor Lauren McLean. "Concentra's investment in Boise demonstrates a confidence in our local economy, and we look forward to the impact their work in health services will have for our residents."

Concentra plans to commemorate the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration featuring local business leaders, employer partners and invited elected officials. The event will highlight the medical center's role in supporting workforce health, strengthening the region's expanding business community.

"Opening our first Idaho medical center is an important milestone for Concentra and reflects our confidence in the future of the Boise market," said Doug McAndrew, executive vice president and chief operations officer at Concentra. "The Treasure Valley's strong economy and growing workforce create a tremendous opportunity to support employers with occupational health services that help protect their people and sustain growth.”

Concentra will provide a full range of occupational health services, including work injury care, physical therapy, drug testing, Department of Transportation physical exams, pre-placement exams, medical surveillance services, and workforce health programs focused on injury prevention, employee well-being, workforce readiness, and the acceleration of safe return-to-work outcomes. Telemedicine for minor work injuries will also be available through Concentra Telemed ®, the company's proprietary telemedicine platform.

"As Boise continues to grow, employers are facing increasing challenges around workforce health, access to care and employee productivity," said Dr. Rebecca Kirsch. "When workers can get timely treatment and guidance after an injury, they recover faster, spend less time away from work and achieve better outcomes. Expanding access to occupational health services in the Treasure Valley helps support both local workers and the employers who depend on them."

Concentra’s Boise medical center demonstrates the company’s continued investment in expanding access to occupational medicine services across the Mountain West and strengthening its nationwide network of care.

Tropical Storm Bertha drifts toward land as Hurricane Fausto forms in the eastern Pacific

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tropical Storm Bertha formed Monday evening in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle as it drifts erratically toward populated coastal areas bearing a threat of heavy rain, storm surge and damaging wind gusts, forecasters say.

Meanwhile, in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Hurricane Fausto formed far from Mexico's Baja California peninsula and posed no threat to land Monday night.

The center of Bertha was located about 140 miles (225 km) south of Panama City, Florida, in the northern Gulf. Maximum sustained winds were around 40 mph (65 kph) and some additional strengthening is expected as the storm approaches land, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center.

The slow-moving storm drifted for hours on Monday, but is expected to stay near or along the northern Gulf Coast early this week, unleashing heavy rain on coastal areas of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana as it pushes west toward Texas.

Bertha is the second tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. Tropical Storm Arthur last month brought heavy rainfall to the southeastern United States.

The storm was nearly stationary by Monday night, but it was expected to make a west-northwestward or westward turn toward the coast over the next few days, according to the hurricane center.

A tropical storm warning is in effect for a wide area from the Alabama-Florida border westward to southeastern Louisiana at the Jefferson and Plaquemines parish line. A storm surge watch also has been posted from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Alabama-Florida border on the Gulf Coast.

Potentially life-threatening storm surges of up to four feet (1.2 meters) could occur in portions of the Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, the hurricane center said, warning Bertha could spin off an isolated tornado or two over the Florida Big Bend region in the week.

Areas of flash flooding will also be possible through Friday along the coast from western Florida to middle Texas, forecasters said. They added that rainfall could total 3 to 5 inches (7 to 12 centimeters) along the Louisiana coastline with higher amounts in some scattered areas.

Red flags were flying on the beach at Orange Beach, Alabama, cautioning swimmers about high surf and currents. In Escambia County, Florida, emergency officials offered sand for people living in flood-prone areas to use for sandbags.

Fausto gained hurricane status Monday night and was about 745 miles (1,200 km) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, forecasters said.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Fausto had top sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and was moving to the west-northwest at 9 mph 15 (kph).

No coastal watches or warnings were in effect though ocean swells generated by the storm could pummel the Baja California coast and cause life-threatening surf and rip tide conditions, the center said.
