The Trauma Center

The state’s only Level 1 Trauma Center exclusively for children

The Level I Trauma Center at Phoenix Children's Hospital is Arizona's premier site for the evaluation, stabilization, treatment, and care of children who have experienced a traumatic injury.

A level I trauma center offers the highest level of emergency and surgical care to patients, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

Phoenix Children’s is equipped to handle the most severe cases in the shortest amount of time. Care is waiting for the patient, instead of the patient having to wait for care.

Benefits

• Care at a trauma center lowers the risk of death by 25 percent compared to non-trauma centers
• Children cared for at a trauma center for children have a lower mortality rate and shorter lengths of stay compared to children cared for at adult trauma centers
• Designated trauma centers for children have 24/7 physician specialist coverage for immediate care of the injured child

Multi-disciplinary care for the most severely injured children

Our physicians, nurses and other staff are trained to serve the unique medical needs of children in an environment focused exclusively on children and their families.
