Stanford provides specialized care to over 2,500 trauma patients per year. We receive patients from many outlying counties in addition to interfacility transports of patients who need Stanford’s expertise. Patients are transported directly to our facility by paramedics and flight crews, such as Stanford’s Life Flight.
Stanford Health Care became a trauma center in 1986, and since 1998 has been recognized as a Level I Trauma Center, the highest level awarded by the American College of Surgeons.
