This unique immediate availability and expertise of specialty-trained professionals at Level I Trauma Centers has been linked to increased patient survival and functional outcomes compared to Level II Trauma Centers*. Unlike Level II Trauma Centers, our multidisciplinary team of physicians, specialty surgeons, nurses and other healthcare specialists is onsite 24/7 and committed to providing excellent and compassionate care to all victims of trauma. The ACS recognizes the TGH Level I Trauma Center for its dedication to providing optimal care for adults and children, as well as its demonstrated commitment to education, research and community outreach. A review team from the ACS, consisting of nationally recognized experts in trauma care, performed an in-depth, on-site assessment of every aspect of TGH’s trauma program.

Commitment to Disaster PreparednessĪn important aspect of Suburban as a Regional Trauma Center is its commitment to disaster preparedness. Although we are not a burn center, we are also capable of providing emergency care to burn victims prior to their transport to a specialty burn unit. As an adult trauma center, Suburban also has the expertise needed to stabilize critically injured children prior to their transfer to a pediatric trauma center. They mostly include victims of motor vehicle crashes, falls, industrial accidents or acts of violence. Our trauma patients arrive via ambulance or via Maryland State Police Medevac helicopters. Our Trauma Center sees approximately 1500 trauma patients annually, serving primarily Montgomery County but also the surrounding Frederick and Prince George’s counties. As such, we are committed to providing the best possible trauma care to all seriously injured trauma patients. It is verified as a Level II Trauma Center, one of only four hospitals in Maryland given that recognition by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems. Suburban Hospital is the only designated trauma center in Montgomery County.
