Miami Valley Hospital South provides care for an average of three to four trauma patients daily, a spokesperson for Premier Health said in a statement shared with Becker’s. 

The hospital’s emergency department will still provide 24/7 care with “ready access” to the adult level 1 trauma program at Miami Valley Hospital’s main campus in Dayton or the nearest trauma center appropriate under emergency medical services protocol.

Premier Health will maintain level 3 trauma center operations at its Atrium Medical Center in Middletown, Ohio, and Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy, Ohio.

The hospital will work with its EMS partners to ensure a smooth patient care transition prior to the May 1 service change, the statement said.
