Trauma Services

In trauma cases, those first 60 minutes – and the care received during those 60 minutes – can mean the difference in life, death and life-altering outcomes. At Rapides Regional Medical Center, we see an average of 100 critical care trauma patients each month, which makes our team uniquely qualified to provide high-level trauma services.

We offer: 

  • Hospital-wide Trauma activation for Level 1 and Level 2 traumas
  • On-call Trauma surgeon- at bedside on arrival or within 15 minutes on all Level 1 activations
  • Orthopaedic services with the area’s only fellowship trained Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon
  • Neurosurgery – coverage 24/7
  • Plastics/Urological/ENT/Oral Surgery consults available
