Trauma Center
 The Trauma Center is separate from the Emergency Department and has five designated bays to receive trauma victims. It is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week with specialty trained healthcare providers in emergency, trauma and critical care. The team consists of trauma surgeons, PAs and ARNPs, nurses and others with extensive training in caring for trauma patients.
The center's primary service area includes Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. John's Counties; however, TraumaOne serves a much broader area, including counties in Southeast Georgia. More than 4,000 patients came through the doors of the Trauma Center in 2008. On each of its four busiest days, 24 patients were treated by the team. Motor vehicle crashes, motorcycle crashes, falls, pedestrian and other accidents accounted for 74 percent of trauma cases last year.
