Keaunu Eagle Chasing
When Keaunu Eagle Chasing was found unresponsive at home, his condition was dire. Rushed to Monument Health Rapid City Hospital, he required life-saving care, including ventilation support and, later, a tracheostomy to assist his breathing.
To continue his treatment and begin a ventilator weaning program, Keaunu was transferred to the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills—a new specialty hospital in Rapid City. Given his need for complex, around-the-clock medical care for an extended period, our critical care unit was well-suited to support Keaunu’s recovery.
