https://www.ruhealth.org/medical-center/medical-services/trauma-services

The RUHS Medical Center (RUHS-MC) trauma team serves more than 3,700 adults and children each year. RUHS-MC is an ACS-COT verified Level I trauma center and is the only Pediatric Level II trauma center in Riverside County. Our trauma center is staffed by highly trained, board-certified Trauma Surgeons, specialty nursing and support staff who ensure that patients receive high-quality emergency trauma care when every minute counts. Our multidisciplinary team provides quick identification of injuries and treatment of life-threatening problems.

With a commitment to medical and academic excellence, RUHS Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, in partnership with University of California Riverside, offers a one year, intensive Surgical Critical Care fellowship. Here we foster professional growth through scheduled didactics, interdisciplinary rounds, committee participation, patient care, and extensive research opportunities at the Comparative Effectiveness and Clinical Outcomes Research Center (CECORC). The RUHS Trauma team embraces the hospital mission to improve the health and well-being of our patients and community through exceptional and compassionate care, education and outreach.

Who We Are: RUHS Foundation

RUHS Foundation was established in 1989 as a nonprofit philanthropic organization. For nearly three decades the Foundation has collaborated successfully with donors and stakeholders to support RUHS Medical Center’s role as a public teaching hospital and safety net provider. Our founders were inspired by the medical center’s work with kids, particularly in the area of child abuse and neglect, and over the years that commitment has grown and evolved to include much more. RUHS Foundation is proud to support RUHS Behavioral Health and Public Health agencies and the system’s 14 community-based health clinics with a goal of serving and safeguarding the county’s 2.35 million residents.
