Columbia-based MU Health Care’s University Hospital has earned a renewal of its level 1 trauma center verification, while also receiving several honors from the American Heart Association.
University Hospital in Columbia has been verified as a level one trauma center for 41 years. The Frank Mitchell Jr. Trauma Center in Columbia is one of just six adult level 1 trauma centers in Missouri verified by the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma, and the only one outside of St. Louis and Kansas City. The verification goes through 2027.
The trauma center’s medical director says the renewal provides confidence that no matter the day, time or type of injury, they stand ready to provide you the best possible care.
