Trauma and Emergency Care

St. Joseph Regional Health Center stands ready to meet the needs of critically ill or injured patients throughout the Brazos Valley. Some of the specialties offered include emergency medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, cardiology, nephrology, and cardiology.

Since 2001, St. Joseph Regional Health Center has been a Designated Lead Level III Trauma Center by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Designation as a Trauma Center requires that St. Joseph be committed to organized, multidisciplinary care of the trauma victim throughout their hospitalization. This designation allows the resources that are necessary for the care of trauma patients including resuscitation, surgery, and critical care. Trauma care is delivered by numerous highly trained professionals throughout the hospital. 

As a leader in trauma care in our region, St. Joseph Regional Health Center and our outlying facilities participate in our area Regional Advisory Council. This includes injury prevention programs throughout the year to help reduce traumatic injuries. The St. Joseph system is committed to the development and growth of our regional trauma and disaster system. All of this making us part of the St. Joseph Difference.
