2019 Bryan Health Trauma Champion: Jim Earnhart

It takes innovative and aggressive treatment to bring critically injured patients back from death.
On September 12, the Nebraska Trauma System and Bryan Trauma Center hosted Tribute to Trauma Champions. The evening honored an individual who suffered traumatic injuries and celebrated the life-saving measures taken by family members, first responders, physicians, Bryan staff members and rehabilitation specialists who cared for them.
This is the story of Jim Earnhart, a man who survived being crushed by a 20-foot, 1100-pound grain by pipe.
