Trauma Care

Detroit Receiving Hospital is the first Level I Trauma Center in the state of Michigan, and one of the first in the country, as verified by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. Detroit Receiving's trauma team includes physicians, surgeons and nurses trained in specific areas of trauma care, including:

Burns: As a comprehensive burn care facility, the Detroit Receiving Burn Center cares for patients with all types of burn injuries, including flame, scald electrical, chemical, radiation and frostbite.

Hyperbaric Medicine: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proven effective in the treatment of smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide poisoning, rapid ascent disease, and more. Detroit Receiving offers HBOT 24-hours a day.

Orthopaedic Trauma: Detroit Receiving's orthopaedic trauma physicians specialize in complex fractures involving bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues.

As the leader in trauma care, Detroit Receiving Hospital hosts the annual Detroit Trauma Symposium, in conjunction with Wayne State University School of Medicine. The Detroit Trauma Symposium addresses the continuum of care of the injured person. Presenters and attendees include physicians, nurses and allied health providers who work together to maintain the interdisciplinary cooperation, which is one hallmark of a coordinated system of trauma care. The Symposium is the largest event of its kind in America, attracting more than 400 attendees each year.
