Trauma Care
Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point has a history of providing the highest level of critical medical care for our community and the Pasco County region. The surrounding counties of Hernando and Citrus are in need of a trauma program to ensure that critically injured patients have access to treatment within the “golden hour” – that period of time immediately after a serious injury during which there is the highest likelihood that prompt medical treatment will prevent death. For the citizens of these counties, IT IS ABOUT TIME: that is, reducing the time it takes to gain access to expert trauma care within their own community.
The development of a trauma program is a natural next step in the evolution of Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point and a very proud milestone that the entire organization is committed to achieve. Trauma Service Area 6, which includes Hernando and Citrus counties, has the second highest ranking for deaths from brain injury trauma and fourth for motor vehicle trauma. The hospital is located in the northern part of Trauma Service Area 9. We look forward to working USF Health to improve access to high quality trauma care in Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties.
