  • Testimonial

    “In 2008, St. Mary’s Level II Trauma Center formed an alliance with the Level I Trauma Center at Cincinnati Children’s. This joint venture has led to improved patient care, multiple educational opportunities and the development of the leading regional trauma system plan in Indiana.

    This collaboration led to St. Mary’s achievement of Level II pediatric trauma verification by the American College of Surgeons — Committee on Trauma and was the first and only Level II pediatric trauma center verified by this alternate pathway. The program is an ongoing experience that defines a new paradigm in pediatric trauma care.”
