    Executive Summary
    In Virginia, 14 hospitals voluntarily undergo Trauma Center designation and commit to provide a higher level of care necessary to the seriously injured. Despite the value Trauma Centers provide to the community, trauma centers continue to face a variety of challenges that have led to a loss of Trauma Center designations or downgrades in coverage across the nation as well as in Virginia. These challenges are deterring additional hospitals from seeking Trauma Center designation.
