Loyola University Health
System's (Loyola) hospital is designated by the state
of Illinois as a Level I Trauma Center for both adult
and pediatric patients. Additionally, the American College
of Surgeons (ACS) also has verified the hospital's Level
I Trauma Center status. Loyola
is the only hospital in Illinois — and one of
a select group nationwide — to earn this distinction.
A complete array of medical,
surgical and ancillary services are available through
an interdisciplinary program that serves the total needs
of the injured patient from prevention through rehabilitation.
Specialized pre-hospital and acute care services involving
specially trained providers in various disciplines and
departments stand ready to deliver a standard level
of high quality care 24 hours a day. These services
include pre-hospital transport, emergency medicine,
general surgery and its subspecialties —
such as orthopaedics, neurosurgery and others —
critical care, nursing and a multitude of others including
social work, rehabilitation and dietary. Care is given
in a coordinated team approach that is regularly monitored
for performance improvement.
The Burn
& Shock Trauma Institute serves as the research
arm of Loyola's burn and trauma centers investigating
problems in post-burn immunosuppression, wound healing
and nutritional support. The multidisciplinary institute's
faculty study clinical, pathophysiologic and edipemiologic
problems in trauma, shock and burns. The institute also
supports an injury prevention program, which conducts
community outreach activities. A number of joint educational
