Dr. Loren Colson doesn’t have a lot of free time. When he isn’t treating patients at Full Circle Health in Boise, he serves as faculty for its residency program and at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He’s also on the board of the Idaho Academy of Family Physicians, is a founding member of the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare, and spends more and more time advocating for women’s healthcare since the Dobbs decision at the U.S. Supreme Court and Idaho’s abortion ban went into effect.
This year, the Ada County Medical Society recognized Dr. Colson with their 2026 Notable Community Impact Award and he joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the honor.
