Emergency and Trauma Care
What Sets Us Apart
We are Pennsylvania’s first Level I trauma center, the highest designation a hospital’s trauma center can receive. We are the region’s only trauma center accredited to care for children and the only one that specializes in care for older adults.
This means we care for all kinds of traumas – from small to the most serious – for all ages. We do it more times every day than any other trauma center in the region. And we do it with experience and compassion using the latest medicine.
