Praxis Health, which operates High Lakes Health Care in Bend, has acquired a new clinic, Prairie Family Medicine in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

This is the second acquisition in four months. In July, Praxis acquired Central Oregon Family Medicine in Redmond, as part of the family-owned and operated health care company’s expansion plans.

Praxis Medical Group LLC has been on a quest for the past three years of acquiring small medical groups and incorporating them into its Oregon network of primary care doctors and specialists. This is the fifth clinic the health care provider has acquired.

“Prairie Family Medicine and their reputation as a high-performing primary care group is an excellent foundation for growth in the Coeur d’Alene market,” said Dan McCarthy, Praxis Health CEO, in a prepared statement.

Praxis employs 627 people. It purchased High Lakes in 2006. 

Prairie Family Medicine was founded in 2007 by Dr. Brian Snyders. The clinic will reopen Jan. 1.
