Lifelines in the Region: Inside the IRMC Trauma Program
In this episode of Rural Health Pulse, we speak with Emelia Rippen, Trauma Program Manager at Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC), about the journey to establishing a Level 4 Trauma Center in a rural community. A lifelong Indiana County resident and experienced nurse leader, Rippen shares how IRMC responded to a critical need for trauma care by launching a program that now plays a vital role in stabilizing patients and coordinating emergency care across a large geographic area. We explore the unique challenges of rural trauma response, the rigorous path to accreditation, and the power of partnerships with EMS, regional hospitals, and community organizations.
