Hospital states Level I trauma...but....

Published

Specializes in Emergency, Trauma, Critical Care.

Hi Everyone!

I wasn't sure where to put this, but figured someone who might know the answer would likely see it.

I am planning on applying at this hospital near me that claims it's a Level 1:

"and serves as the only Level 1 regional trauma center for Inyo, Mono, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties"

However, I went to the ACS website which states ACS certifies these level 1 hospitals and this hospital is not mentioned anywhere on the list?

What gives?

It's a HUGE medical teaching facility, two helipads, 900 beds, has a lot of specialty services.

I really want to work in the surgical ICU, it seems like they would offer some great experience. Thanks!
