Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern was officially designated a
Level III trauma center.
The new title
means people have another hospital at which to receive treatment for
a traumatic injury. Doctors say the designation will allow them to more
quickly see seriously hurt patients.
“If you have to worry about transit time, that
sort of affects the final outcome. So, with Good Samaritan
Hospital here, we can basically take the areas and the communities around the
hospital and take care of these patients expeditiously, “ says Dr. Michael Schwartz of Good Samaritan
Hospital.
If patients need
extensive care, they can also be transported within network to
Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, a level I trauma center.
