Our hospital-based trauma services
Our network of hospitals offer a range of trauma care services, so you'll always find the care you need.
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 six of our emergency rooms (ERs), which are designated as Level II and Level IV Trauma Centers by the Utah Department of Health's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Preparedness.
Level IV Trauma Centers
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.
