Episode 195: Listeners Ask About the New Rapid City Emergency location with Brook Eide, M.D.

“When you have an emergency, nothing’s fast enough.” The goal of Rapid City Hospital Emergency Services is to see each patient as fast as possible. As Brook Eide, M.D., Medical Director of Emergency Services, explains in this episode of listener questions, the new Mall Drive Emergency location, open on June 10, will help Rapid City area patients by giving them another emergency room supported by Rapid City Hospital in a convenient location — particularly for patients living east of the city. Dr. Eide clarifies the main differences between the two emergency locations, when a patient should go to which location and how transfers to the hospital will work. Listen or watch for information on this exciting new development in the Rapid City area that has been long-needed and will give the surrounding communities a new solution when immediate health care troubles arise. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
