The Finest in Emergency Care -- Three Level I Trauma Centers -- Two Designated Stroke Centers --
Five Fast Track Services
St. Vincent�s Manhattan, St.
Vincent�s Staten Island and Mary Immaculate Hospital have all been
designated by the New York City Department of Emergency Services as Level I
Trauma Centers.
The Level I designation, the highest available, indicates
that we have all the resources readily available to ensure that patients
receive immediate treatment with the most sophisticated equipment and skills
available. Our Level I Trauma Centers
provide round-the-clock medical staff specialty trained in severe trauma and
emergency care. Additional medical
staff trained in neurosurgery, orthopaedics, and all other medical and surgical
specialties must be available to provide care at a moment�s notice.
We also offer high level emergency care in
areas other than trauma. St. Vincent's Manhattan and St. Vincent's
Midtown Hospitals have recently received designation from the New York State Department of
Health as Stroke Centers. This designation is awarded to select hospitals
that meet the highest standards for stroke care. This means that our stroke team
is available 24 hours, seven days a week to rapidly respond to stroke
patients.
In addition, we operate Fast Track
areas in all our emergency departments, so people with minor illnesses and injuries
don't have to wait long hours to be seen.
In our Fast Track areas, we treat you quickly and well and send you home in
good time.
