Our hospital-based trauma services
Medically, trauma refers to a serious or critical bodily injury, wound or shock, which often results in lasting mental effects as well. Psychologically, trauma refers to an experience that is emotionally painful, distressing or shocking, which, similarly, often results in lasting physical effects.
Because of this relationship between the physical and mental components of trauma, highly specialized care is required to effectively treat traumatic injuries and illnesses. We offer this type of care at the Brigham City Community Hospital emergency room, which is designated as Level IV Trauma Center by the Utah Department of Health's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Preparedness. If needed, we have the capability to transfer to a sister facility for certain types of trauma care.
Level IV Trauma Center
To earn Level IV Trauma Center designations, our trauma teams actively advocate for trauma system development, enhanced emergency services and more efficient care. They are able to diagnose and stabilize patients with severe injuries, helping prevent serious complications. They can also perform surgeries and critical care as needed.
