Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center is the largest hospital in the northwest region between Seattle and Salt Lake City, UT. We are currently recruiting a Gastroenterologist to build our new service line. With a service area of over 600,000 EIRMC and the community can easily support 2 more GI’s to Idaho Falls. We currently are the only Pediatric ICU between Seattle, WA and Salt Lake City, UT. Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center has plans to also become the only level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center in the region.
Currently we have a group of 3 General Surgeons who are very busy and doing a lot of scopes. They have verbally shared they are more than happy to give up all scopes for an incoming GI. We also have the room to place a Gastroenterologist with the General Surgeons in their clinic.
Once our service line is open with a new GI in our community, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center plans to build and Endoscopy Center and provide the option for an incoming GI to buy into the center.
The 290-bed Level 2 Trauma Center has a 29-bed Level 1 ICU (including a 6 bed burn unit) that covers Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Critical Care doctors and advanced practice providers staff the ICU at night. There are plans to become a designated Pediatric Level 2 Trauma Center by 2026. The emergency department has emergency medicine trained and certified doctors, seeing around 60,000 annual visits, and has nurses certified in TNCC, PALS, and ENPC. The PICU is covered by pediatric intensivists, pediatric Critical Care RNs, respiratory therapists, and physical rehab staff. The Level 3 NICU is covered by neonatologists and NNPs. The hospital also has a Ronald McDonald room and residency programs in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, and Pharmacy. They host an annual wound care conference and are a Primary Stroke Center.
