Trauma is a sudden, serious, sometimes life-threatening injury that requires immediate and highly skilled medical attention.  Trauma is the #1 cause of death and disability in patients 1 through 44 years of age and affects more patients than those with cancer and heart disease combined.

The St. Barnabas Trauma Center has achieved Level I status, which is the highest designation in the State of New York.  Level I trauma centers are examples of systems that provide continuous, integrated care starting in the pre-hospital phase, continuing through resuscitation until rehabilitation.

The St. Barnabas Trauma Team is led by a board-certified surgeon with fellowship training in trauma and surgical critical care and includes a team of trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, neurosurgery, orthopedics, radiology, pediatrics, anesthesia, nursing and support services.  Every member of the trauma team contributes in the continuum of quality trauma care.

St. Barnabas Regional Trauma Center is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology and facilities, including a sophisticated trauma resuscitation bay, operative suites, CAT Scans, MRI, Interventional Radiology and Intensive Care Unit.

From resuscitation to rehabilitation, St. Barnabas Regional Trauma Center provides a continuum of trauma care including post-discharge follow up in our trauma clinic.

In addition to caring for trauma patients, St. Barnabas Regional Trauma Center is committed to reducing injuries in our community by providing injury prevention programs such as Bicycle Helmet Distribution to children in surrounding Bronx schools and safety programs for expecting and new parents.  Our Trauma Center is proud to be an active member of the New York City Safe Kids Chapter.
