More of what matters, 24 hours a day.
The emergency services at Memorial University Medical Center include the only Level I trauma center in southeast Georgia. We have more specialists on site in the middle of the night than some hospitals have in the middle of the day. More 24-hour intensive care specialists. More anesthesiologists, trauma surgeons, and radiologists. More of what matters.
Our board-certified emergency physicians handle more than 80,000 cases per year.
Level 1 Trauma Center
Our trauma center is one of only four Level I trauma centers in the entire state of Georgia. Being designated Level I means that we provide the highest level of emergency care as established by the American College of Surgeons. Our Trauma Center serves 28 counties in Georgia and South Carolina. It is the only facility of its kind between Jacksonville, Fla., and Charleston, S.C.
We have trauma surgeons, a variety of medical specialists, a trauma operating room, a trauma treatment room, and intensive care units available around the clock.
