Lakeview Regional Medical Center, a campus of Tulane Medical Center, has met the national requirements set by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) as a verified Level II Trauma Center.
“This verification validates what we have known to be true and recognizes the optimal care we provide to our patients, whether it’s a trauma case or any emergency room visit,” said Katie Cook, Lakeview Regional trauma director. “Treatment at a trauma center can improve survival rates by 18%, and we are equipped with a highly skilled multidisciplinary staff and the latest technology to treat almost any emergency that comes through our emergency department.”
Lakeview Regional is one of nine hospitals in Louisiana with a Trauma Center designation.
