Level II trauma center (Salem Hospital)
Level II trauma center (Salem Hospital)
In 2013, Oregon Health Authority accredited Salem Hospital emergency department
as a Level II Trauma Center, ready to care 24/7 for the Willamette
Valley’s most seriously injured patients. Trauma facilities are
designated as Level I, II, III, or IV,
with Level I and II centers offering the highest level of care. Level
II trauma centers provide care for severely injured patients of all
ages. Facility services and resource requirements are similar to Level
I.
Every trauma patient who arrives in the Salem Hospital
emergency department is met by a trauma team with resuscitation
life-support equipment to ensure rapid evaluation and treatment.
Salem Hospital is scheduled to participate in a survey
conducted by OHA on July 30, 2021, for re-designation of its Level II
accreditation.
