Projects
Level I Research Program
St. Vincent Regional Healthcare in Billings, Montana, had everything it needed to be a Level I. Except research.
Rising to Level II
Hendrick Health in Abilene, Texas, built the infrastructure to elevate its Level III trauma center to an American College of Surgeons (ACS) Level II trauma center.
Adding a Trauma Center to the Trauma System
When Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria, California, became a Level II trauma center, the trauma system needed to revise its EMS policies to ensure patients received prompt care.
Building a Trauma Program from Scratch
Washington Hospital in Fremont, California, was not a trauma center on June 30. But at 7am the next morning, it was a provisional Level II trauma center.
Rural Trauma
While small community hospitals may not have a high volume of trauma, they are integral to the trauma system in rural and underserved areas.
