Michelle Pratt, a local Army veteran who served in Bosnia during the 1990s, is sharing her mental health journey after enduring trauma overseas.

 

Years of exhaustion and brain fog followed her service, pushing her to seek help in Meridian.

 

Pratt found relief through the Brain Restore Program at Align Integrated Medical, which uses neurofeedback, functional medicine, chiropractic care, and laser therapy.

 

She’s now feeling more alert and energetic each day, describing her experience as life-changing.

 

Todd Harris, a retired police officer, also noticed improvement in memory and emotional well-being after treatment at the clinic, highlighting the hidden toll of trauma.

 

With Align Integrated Medical newly approved as a Community Care Network provider by the Boise VA, local veterans can now access vital holistic care options in Meridian.

Meridian, Idaho is set for dramatic growth as construction begins on The District at Ten Mile, a new 222-acre mixed-use development that will become a key destination in the Treasure Valley.

 

Strategically located near Interstate 84 and Ten Mile Road, the project led by Ahlquist Development will blend retail, office, and residential spaces to serve the community’s booming population.

 

Highlights include Meridian’s first Target store, opening in May 2027, and a massive Life Time Fitness center with amenities like pools, courts, a bistro, and more by late 2027.

 

Dining favorites such as In-N-Out, Panera Bread, and Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream are slated to open alongside Target, providing new culinary options.

 

Plans also call for Hilton and Hyatt hotels, plus nearly 1,800 homes to help address regional housing needs, all supported by major road upgrades to ease local traffic.

 

This major project broke ground on May 5, 2026, and promises to energize Meridian’s growth and lifestyle for years to come.
