Why EIRMC
As the only full-service hospital in Idaho Falls, EIRMC can handle all your healthcare needs. Having everything under one roof saves time and eliminates the run-around for tests and procedures. And because even routine surgeries and procedures carry associated risks, choosing EIRMC from the start is your insurance policy against an ambulance ride from a smaller facility when something goes unexpectedly wrong. Below are just a few reasons why EIRMC should be your first and only choice when you need a hospital:
- Idaho’s only Level 1 Intensive Care Unit (30 beds) won the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
- Idaho’s only Trauma Center verified by the American College of Surgeons
- Designated regional hospital provider for White House Medical Corps
- Region’s only Surgical Weight Loss program designated as a “Center of Excellence”
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, led by the only Neonatologists in the region, and home to a $2+ million technology upgrade, provides life-saving care for the smallest and sickest of babies close to home
- Single-port laparoscopic surgery capabilities
- Air Idaho Rescue averages 800+ helicopter, fixed wing, and ground rescues annually.
- First Idaho hospital to “go digital” for patient safety (pharmacy robot, bedside bar-code scanning, and electronic records)
- 70-bed inpatient Behavioral Health Center for children, adolescents, and adults
- Full-service Heart Center that leads the nation in “beating heart” surgery and cardiac catheterization expertise

“I wish to express my gratitude for your hospital’s wonderful Pulmonary Rehab Department. I credit that department for giving my husband his life back and teaching us about what happened to him, what to do, and how to get help.”
—Maggie Croft, Idaho Falls
“I had the opportunity of being a patient in your Radiology Department, first, for a barium swallow procedure, and then for a mammogram. I was so comfortable with both experiences due to the patience, gentleness, and kindness of the staff. In fact, when my doctor suggested a mammogram and I was given several choices (EIRMC not being one of them), I told him I wanted to have it done at EIRMC.”
—Lou Anne Johnson, Idaho Falls
“The Intensive Care nurses at EIRMC are awesome. They take care of their patients as human beings and not as if they were just a disease to be cured.”
—Judy Foster, Idaho Falls
