Two new Trauma Centers
"Under Ohio’s provisional trauma center laws."
By: EMS GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS We are pleased to announce that two hospitals are beginning to operate as trauma centers under Ohio’s provisional trauma center laws. - Northside Medical Center in Youngstown is operating as a Level 3 Trauma Center. - On November 15 at 0800, Kettering Medical Center in Kettering will begin operating as a Level 2 Trauma Center. This means that Northside Medical Center and Kettering Medical Center are appropriate destinations for trauma victims. Provisional trauma center status is the first step in receiving trauma center verification from the American College of Surgeons and demonstrates the hospital’s commitment to providing quality trauma care. If you have any questions about this, please contact Tim Erskine, Chief of Trauma Systems and Research, at 614-387-1951 or terskine@dps.state.oh.us. |
