This has been quite a year for Effingham Health System. In February, Effingham Hospital unveiled a $30 million expansion that included an emergency room with 11 patient bays, two triage rooms and an open area for nursing staff to have a view of all areas at once. On Friday, the hospital celebrated the emergency room’s designation as one of only four Level IV trauma centers in the state.
