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 Care—the highest level in our regions equipped with advanced, life-saving technology."
Upon further review, I guess it is seeking level 1 status.

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.
