Pioneer Memorial Hospital has
been awarded full level trauma IV
status, according to PMH Ad
ministrator Ernest Wick.
Wick said that the hospital is now
part of a state wide trauma system
which will enable patients to receive
better and more efficient care in the
event of an emergency.
To achieve trauma certification
certain hospital staff must have ad
ditional training and the hospital
must have additional equipment and
medication, said Wick. The hospital
is then surveyed and certified by
state officials.
In the event of a serious illness or
injury. First Responders and am
bulance staff can now activate the
trauma team at the hospital so that
the patient’s treatment can begin
sooner. Helicopters in Portland and
Pendleton and fixed winged aircraft
in La Grande are also tied into the
system and are put on alert in the
event that the patient need transport.
