The Committee on Trauma verified

At Phoenix Children’s, we offer the best trauma care for children in the state. Our Center for Trauma Care is Arizona’s only American College of Surgeons (ACS)-verified Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and the only designated by the Arizona Department of Health Services specifically for pediatric trauma care.

This means we’re equipped to evaluate, stabilize, treat and care for some of the most severely injured children. We make sure children get the specialized care they need – from equipment that fits their size, to medications tailored to growing bodies. Care is waiting for the patient, instead of the patient waiting for care.
