Special Holidays From IFCH Staff
These last holidays of 2023 sparked generous donations from Toys for Tots, as they delivered joy and cheer to our Pediatric unit. We're honored to have such a giving community looking out for our patients. Thanks for all your support, everyone!
IFCH Cookie Competition
We're spreading holiday cheer with a fun cookie competition! Our talented staff baked three dozen of their all-time favorite cookies for everyone to enjoy and vote on. We also had the pleasure of welcoming Shane from the Shannon Wilker Foundation to shed light on local community needs. Thank you to all participants, and warm wishes for a happy holiday season!

Common Holiday & Seasonal Accidents
As we dive into the holidays and winter season, let's keep safety at the forefront of our celebrations. Here are the 4 most common Christmas injuries we see in our emergency department:
Kitchen Mishaps
Cuts, burns, and slips are on the rise with holiday baking.
Decoration Disasters
You’d be surprised how often people fall while hanging up lights and decorations.
Fire Hazards
Christmas trees, candles, and decorative lights can pose fire risks if not used carefully.
Travel Accidents
Be extra careful with holiday travel to avoid getting in a wreck.
Remember, Idaho Falls Community is here for you when you need emergency care. Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season!
