Equipped with leading-edge technology, the Trauma Center at Western Baptist Hospital is poised to respond to the emergency medical needs of the region. One of the busiest trauma centers in the state, Western Baptist Hospital treats more than 40,000 patients each year.

Registered nurses and board-certified emergency physicians are on duty 24 hours a day. Patients who enter the Trauma Center immediately see a triage nurse. This allows our staff to determine the level of care needed for the illness or injury. Triage nurses are specially trained to separate minor needs from major emergencies. Those who are critically ill receive immediate attention. Patients with minor illnesses and injuries are triaged to the Fast Track Center.
