Construction/Parking UpdateĪs construction continues on the expansion of our Fanny Meisler Trauma Center, there are some changes on how you access the USA Health University Hospital emergency department. Only level I trauma centers can offer comprehensive emergency care, including necessary life-saving interventions, prevention, advanced surgical care and rehabilitation. Here, we utilize resources from all medical specialties to meet the special needs of a seriously injured patient at a moment's notice.
The Fanny Meisler Trauma Center at University Hospital is the first, and the only, in south Alabama to earn level I status. We see more than 1,400 trauma patients per year at USA Health's Trauma Center. In fact, the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma suggests that this level of experience can be obtained by treating 600-1,000 trauma patients each year. The more experienced the healthcare facility, the better a trauma patient's chances of survival. Trauma is accidental or intentional injuries that lead to life threatening situations.
