Trauma
Centers
St. John's Mercy takes pride in the various levels of trauma care offered at
our hospitals.
 St.
John’s Mercy Medical Center operates the only Level I Trauma Center in St.
Louis County. (Level I centers represent large urban hospitals that commit a
significant amount of resources to research in improving care of traumatized
patients.) The Medical Center handles a major share of the area's trauma cases
and provides medical direction for six fire/ambulance districts. Our Emergency
department staff diagnoses and treats major and minor traumatic and medical
emergencies, providing advanced care 24 hours a day, every day. For more information,
call 314-251-6090.
 St.
John’s Mercy Hospital in Washington, Mo., is a Level III trauma center.
(Level III centers usually represent rural hospitals with the resources and
capabilities to provide specialized trauma care, and have further demonstrated
a commitment to provide that care with a high level of expertise.) As the only
Level III trauma center between St. Louis and Jefferson City, St. John’s Mercy
Hospital offers an experienced staff of emergency physicians, trauma nurses,
trauma surgeons and anesthesiologists specially trained in trauma care. For
