City on a Hill Behavioral Health Center

On March 11, 2026, the Kiwanis Club of Coeur d’Alene welcomed guest speakers Mike Wraith, Executive Director, and Joe Mitrovich, Clinical Director, from City on a Hill Behavioral Health Center. They shared an encouraging update on the significant growth the Center has experienced since its Grand Opening on October 13, 2025. They also expressed their appreciation to the Kiwanis Club of Coeur d’Alene for the financial support our Club provided last year to help the organization get off to a strong start.

City on a Hill provides evidence-based mental health care and, as a faith-based clinic, thoughtfully integrates professional therapy with a Biblical worldview for individuals seeking care that aligns with their faith and personal beliefs. A central component of the organization’s mission is to expand access to mental health services by offering low- or no-cost care to children, adults, and families throughout Kootenai County.

City on a Hill provides timely mental health assessment and intervention for youth, which in some cases helps stabilize crises and prevent the need for inpatient hospitalization. This support is critically important, as youth who require hospitalization are often sent to facilities out of state—such as Montana or Utah—separating them from family and community during an already traumatic time.

Following the presentation, the Kiwanis Club of Coeur d’Alene presented City on a Hill with additional funds to support the purchase of two computers that are urgently needed by their clinicians.
