What is a Trauma Center?

A trauma center is a type of hospital that has resources and equipment needed to help care for severely injured patients. The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma classifies trauma centers as Level I to Level IV. A Level I trauma center provides the highest level of trauma care while Level IV trauma centers provide initial trauma care and transfer to a higher level of trauma care if necessary. All levels of trauma centers (Level I to Level IV) and hospitals are critical components of trauma systems. Trauma systems help to ensure that the millions of people injured each year get the right care, at the right place, at the right time. The right care can help people continue to live to their full potential, despite having experienced a severe injury.

Why is being near a trauma center important?

If you've experienced a mild or moderate injury, the thousands of emergency departments (EDs) across the nation are ready with basic emergency services to help you heal. But, if you are severely injured, having fast access to specialized resources and equipment is critical. CDC-supported research shows a 25% reduction in deaths for severely injured patients who receive care at a Level I trauma center rather than at a non-trauma center.

Where is the trauma center closest to me?

To find the trauma center closest to you, click on your state on the map. You will see the name, address, and level of the trauma center that is closest to you. The purple areas in the map indicate that emergency medical responders can transport injured patients by ambulance or helicopter to a Level I or II trauma center within an hour. Patients injured in the white areas of the map cannot be transported within an hour to a Level I or II trauma center because those trauma centers are not as close as they are in the purple areas.
