Introduction

At Surgical Associates, our surgeons work closely with St. Vincent Regional Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center, to provide comprehensive trauma care. While our clinic is not a trauma center, our surgeons are actively involved in treating patients who arrive at the hospital’s emergency room with life-threatening injuries.

When a trauma occurs, time is critical. Our surgeons collaborate with a dedicated team of trauma professionals to ensure that patients receive immediate, specialized care. From motor vehicle accidents to severe falls, we offer expert surgical interventions to address complex injuries and support the recovery process.

How Trauma Surgery Works

Trauma patients are often brought to St. Vincent Regional Hospital by ambulance or air transport. Once at the hospital, our surgeons assess the patient’s condition and perform the necessary surgery. The team uses advanced techniques and works with other specialists such as radiologists and emergency physicians to deliver coordinated care.

Our goal is to provide personalized, rapid care in the most critical situations, ensuring each patient has the best possible chance of recovery.
