I live a bit north of Fargo...from my understanding as of this time it is still designated as level 2. The new Sanford Hospital opened in late July, but trauma is still level 2 there. The hope is level 1 someday with further advances.
"our Sioux Falls, Fargo and Bismarck Emergency Centers offer Level II Trauma Careāthe highest level in our regions equipped with advanced, life-saving technology."
Upon further review, I guess it is seeking level 1 status.
The fact of the matter remains though that Las Vegas was not ready to handle crisis situations with it's lackluster medical resources compared to most cities.
They certainly did the best they could, but the fact the matter remains they are way, way, way behind for a metropolitan area of it's size.
To be strictly technical Boston has five level 1 trauma centers and two level 1 pediatric trauma centers.
But yes, this is the first thing that concerned me when I heard of the massacre and that there was only one L1 in the Las Vegas area. That a lot of people that could be saved may not be.

Don't know about Omaha, but if this is the Wichita that has Chief of Police Gordon Ramsay, I'm all for moving there. Ramsey is an outstanding Chief of Police.
When a BLM protest march was being set up, he suggested that they also have a BBQ and a dance. The BBQ and dance went well. There are videos floating around. They are pretty sweet. I don't believe they ever got to the protesting part.
