Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center is the largest hospital in the northwest region between Seattle and Salt Lake City, UT. We currently have one Pediatric Surgeon (Dr. Adrian Curnow). With a service area of over 600,000 EIRMC can support a 2nd Pediatric Surgeon. 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.
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 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.
