From the ambulance bay, rooftop helicopter pad, vertical care and trauma resuscitation rooms, Dr. Eide pulls back the curtain on what actually happens behind those sliding doors. Learn what makes Monument Health a Level II Trauma Center, how this ER is able to care for a five-state region, and how the team manages patient care while keeping patients calm during the worst day of their lives.
