Trauma center

We are verified as a Level II Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma. Our facility is also a designated Time Sensitive Emergency (TSE) Level II Trauma Center by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Additionally, we regularly assess our services to achieve the most positive outcomes possible. We also provide ongoing trauma prevention training and continuing education opportunities for our staff.

As well as having extensive practical experience, our committed trauma specialists have completed further training to provide emergency trauma care, treat complex injuries and deliver essential rehabilitation treatments.

If you or a loved one is in critical condition, we offer 24/7 resources, including:

• Ambulatory care
• Emergency room (ER)
• Imaging services, including computerized tomography (CT)
• Intensive care unit (ICU)
• Life-support capabilities
• Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)

When an unexpected burn or heart issue arises, our trauma doctors may elect to connect you or a family member to advanced care within our facility. In coordination with our ER team, we work to stabilize vitals before admitting you or your loved one to our burn center, PICU or ICU.

Burn care

In our specially equipped burn care center, our attentive team consults specialists, uses advanced life-support technology and conducts 24/7 monitoring. Upon release, treatment may involve plastic surgery, wound care or outpatient physical therapy.

Heart attack care

If you or a loved one is experiencing a heart attack, our cardiologists immediately begin care to help prevent permanent damage. The innovative surgeons on our cardiology team perform multiple types of heart surgery, using a minimally invasive approach whenever possible.

To help regain independence as fully as possible, we coordinate treatment in the ICU and provide cardiac rehabilitation services.

Stroke care

Our facility is recognized as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. Such certification means our specialists are committed to positive outcomes by delivering the highest quality stroke care possible.

If you or a loved one experiences a stroke, our team works with neurologists and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to deliver tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). This clot-dissolving drug helps to prevent loss of life and reduce permanent damage. Receiving tPA within the first two to three hours after the onset of symptoms is crucial.
