Highly trained medical professionals staff the Trauma Center and provide patients with the highest quality medical services. The Trauma Center is staffed 24 hours a day by a trauma surgeon, emergency physician and nurses. Operating rooms in the Surgery Department are open 24 hours a day and available to the Trauma Center when needed.
The staff members of the Trauma Center work as a collaborative multidisciplinary team. Our Trauma Teams are made up of Board Certified surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists and nurses who are specially trained in caring for seriously injured patients. Many of the registered nurses working in the Trauma Center have Trauma Nurse (TNCC) certification.
At any time, on-site medical center staff in surgery, orthopedics, burn care, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, pediatric trauma and anesthesia services are available to assist the Trauma Team.
