About the Company:
The largest medical facility in the region, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC) is a
full-service hospital with 318 patient beds. It serves as the region's healthcare hub, serving
southeast Idaho, western Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park, and parts of Montana.
EIRMC is home to
a Level II Trauma Center, a Level 1 ICU (of only two in Idaho), and the only Burn Center in the
state of Idaho. A robust local helicopter and ground medical rescue service support its
comprehensive trauma program. Additionally, EIRMC has the region's only Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit for critically ill children.
The Heart Center provides the region's most comprehensive
cardiovascular program with a full spectrum of cardiology services.
The hospital is home to Idaho’s
only Level 1 Intensive Care Unit, and in 2005, EIRMC received the Beacon Award for Critical Care
Excellence from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. Only 10 other American hospitals
were similarly honored.
EIRMC was also honored in 2007 by Qualis for the hospital’s quality
improvement work in the realm of preventing hospital-acquired infections – the only Idaho recipient
of that award.
EIRMC won the Organ Donation Medal of Honor from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services in both 2006 and 2007, for its exemplary record of organ donations. Its 88 percent
conversion rate was well above the national average of 55 percent.
 In 2004, the hospital received
national Trauma Center designation by the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma, a
distinction belonging to just 188 of America’s 5,600 hospitals. EIRMC also earned a rare
“Comprehensive” ranking for cancer services by the same organization’s Commission on Cancer in
2004.
Further recognitions include the Gold Star Award in 2004 from Idaho Sound Beginnings, and the
Respiratory Care Recognition Award by the American Association of Respiratory Care. EIRMC is also
proud of its “gold standard” bariatrics program.
EIRMC is fortunate to offer a variety of services
not available elsewhere in the state, including a ventilator-weaning service called ReSCU;
perinatalogy services for high-risk pregnancies; neonatology services for extremely premature and
critically ill infants; and gynecologic-oncology services provided by specialists who focus only on
cervical, ovarian, uterine, and other reproductive cancers in women.
EIRMC is also home to the
area’s only multi-person hyperbarics chamber and is regarded as the region’s leader in wound
care.
In addition to providing superior medical services, EIRMC is also an active and involved
corporate citizen, donating time, money, and sponsorship to a rich variety of community causes.
