Level I Trauma Center Accreditation: Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health – Lancaster General Hospital – Lancaster, PA
Effective January 1, 2021, this brings the total number of trauma centers in Pennsylvania to 42 as follows:
Combined Adult Level 1 /Pediatric Level I Trauma Centers
Just weeks before the end of 2020, that number doubled. More than 400 people gunned down.
By the time you read this, there will only be more.
Even in a “normal” year, most of their stories would never be told.
At best they’d be reduced to a handful of lines in a media alert:
“A 21-year-old Black male was shot one time in the head. He was transported to Temple University Hospital and was pronounced at 8:12 p.m. The scene is being held, no weapon recovered and no arrest.”
That’s it. An entire life ending in a paragraph that may never make the daily newspaper.
