Centura Health Integrates Trauma Care System
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, trauma is the leading cause of death for Coloradans ages one to 44. Studies indicate that 30 to 40 percent of all trauma deaths occur within one hour of injury, and that 30 to 40 percent of these deaths are preventable if timely, appropriate care is received.
In response to the critical need for quality trauma care, Centura Health, Colorado’s largest hospital and health care network, has become the first integrated health care network nationally to establish a comprehensive trauma system across its regional facilities.
