Dignity Health Chandler Regional Medical Center
Chandler Regional Medical Center is an American College of Surgeons (ACS) verified and state-designated Level I Adult Trauma Center. Trauma centers are separated into 5 different levels. Level V, IV, III, II and I, with I being the highest possible level. In layman’s terms it means that we have the ability and resources to care for most severely injured patients. We have specialized surgeons and teams of support staff to ensure any injury can be cared for. As the East Valley's busiest Trauma center, we take pride in our capability and dedication to healing the injured. In 2024 CRMC will celebrate it's 10th anniversary of being a Level I Trauma Center.
As members of the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) we are able to assist injured patients to continue to heal past their physical injuries. We understand how a traumatic injury and events can disrupt a person and families lives. TSN provides resources and education about Trauma care to patients and loved ones, as well as a chance to connect with other survivors from around the country. At this time Chandler Regional Trauma Services is only able to participate in virtual support groups. However, with the growth of the program and the addition of new members we hope to expand to in person support sessions in the future.
