The Care You Need for Traumatic Injuries

There are medical emergencies, and there are traumatic, life-threatening injuries that require care in the moment and long-term care later, as you recover. At MetroHealth, people of all ages are brought via ambulance, helicopter or car to our trauma center due to:

• Blunt trauma
• Burns
• Car crashes
• Falls
• Gunshot wounds
• Head injury and traumatic brain injury
• Stab wounds
• Additional complex injuries

These life-threatening injuries often require more care—more surgeons, more equipment, more nurses and more expertise—than a standard emergency room can provide. For more information, see Emergency Department. To  protect your everyday health needs, make an appointment with a MetroHealth primary care provider.
