The designation means both hospitals have 24/7 access to:
- In-house coverage by a trauma surgeon,
- Specialty and non-specialty surgeons and physicians
- On-call neurosurgeons; and
- An on-site anesthesia provider, surgical services team and trauma-trained nurses
Additionally, CFRH and Osceola Regional — two facilities of Nashville, Tenn.-based Hospital Corporation of America — can accept Level II trauma patients with critical injuries, including victims of car accidents, shootings, sports injuries and stabbings.
The new status brings to close the quest for designation that began at CFRH in the fall of 2014 and at Osceola Regional in 2012.
