Level I Trauma Centers
Following a severe injury, every minute counts — and the chance of survival is greatest if treatment is given within the first hour of the injury. Two HonorHealth emergency departments are Level 1 trauma centers, which is the highest designation by the American College of Surgeons.
Level III Trauma Center
Deer Valley Medical Center has earned a Level III trauma center designation. It's defined as being able to provide prompt assessment, resuscitation, surgery, intensive care and stabilization of injured patients and emergency operations.
Level III designation requires surgeons on call to have Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) accreditation from the American College of Surgeons. ATLS teaches a standard approach for trauma assessment and treatment so the most time-critical interventions are performed first.
Sonoran Health and Emergency Center
Sonoran Health and Emergency Center in the north Valley is a freestanding emergency center offering care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to people of all ages. The center serves as a destination for emergency care, breast health and medical imaging.
Our board-certified physicians, registered nurses and respiratory therapists provide care 24/7.
