Trauma Center

Unlike the typical emergency department, our Level II Trauma Center has specialists to treat serious life-threatening injuries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Having the trauma team available and constantly ready to respond can be the difference between life and death for critically injured patients.

Though we are the most capable hospital in the area to handle traumas, we are just as committed to preventing them. Kern Medical takes a leadership role in injury prevention with member agencies throughout our County.

Trauma Center's require highly specialized equipment to care for a variety of injuries. The support of our local community support will allow Kern Medical to provide the most state-of-the-art equipment and technology available.
