Trauma Services
Kingston Health Sciences Centre's Kingston General Hospital site is one of 11 lead trauma hospitals in Ontario. We provide a high level of care for severely injured patients. Regionalizing lead trauma hospitals across Ontario reduces trauma morbidity and mortality by decreasing the distance and time between the incident and high-level care.
We are responsible and accountable to our referring centres and our community to provide initial assessment and treatment (resuscitation and stabilization) on a 24-hour basis.
Funded by the Ministry of Health, we ensure 24-hour Trauma Team Leader availability, program management, and data collection. As an acute care hospital, we have the expertise, technology, and facilities to provide the highest possible level of care to major trauma patients within our region. Important components of acute trauma care include coordination with pre-hospital care, the provision of in-hospital treatment, and discharge from the hospital to community rehabilitation.
