Expert Level of Pediatric Readiness
We’re thrilled to share Idaho Falls Community Hospital has officially been recognized as a statewide leader in emergency pediatric care. The hospital’s emergency department recently achieved an Expert Level of Pediatric Readiness by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s program for Emergency Medical Services for Children. This distinction is held by only two hospitals across the state.
This recognition is a powerful vote of confidence from the state that our emergency department is ready for anything and fully prepared to stabilize and treat pediatric patients in emergency situations. Our Expert Level of Pediatric Readiness status is valid for three years.
A huge shoutout to every team member who played a role – whether in equipment readiness, training, policies or care. Your dedication made this possible and shows how far we’ve come since opening in 2019. Six years ago we did not exist, today, we have the highest level of recognition and we couldn’t be prouder.
Thank you for making Idaho Falls Community Hospital a place families can count on when it matters most.
