  • Advanced Trauma Care

    As a state-designated Level II Trauma Center, McLeod Regional Medical Center meets rigorous standards for trauma care, including physician availability, specialized training, rapid response capabilities and ongoing quality improvement. This designation means patients have immediate access to highly trained trauma teams and specialists equipped to care for serious injuries resulting from vehicle crashes, falls, workplace accidents and other emergencies.

  • What to Expect When You Arrive

    Every patient is evaluated by a specially trained triage nurse shortly after arrival. Patients are treated based on the severity of their illness or injury—not the order in which they arrive. This means patients with life-threatening conditions may be seen before those with less serious illnesses or injuries. Our priority is providing the right care at the right time for every patient.
