PeaceHealth Southwest's Trauma Center

PeaceHealth Southwest's Trauma Center is a Medical Center in Vancouver, WA. It is a Washington state‑verified Level II trauma center, one of three state‑designated trauma centers serving the Portland metropolitan area and the only one in Southwest Washington. The center oversees trauma care quality across six Southwest Washington counties and treats almost 3,000 trauma patients each year. Services include acute care surgery, surgical critical care, emergency medicine stabilization, complex orthopedic, neurosurgical, ENT and oral‑maxillofacial surgery, as well as interventional radiology procedures such as embolization and image‑guided drainage. The center’s multidisciplinary team serves residents throughout the region, and it holds a 4.00 rating based on eight online reviews.

The trauma team is composed of eleven board‑certified general surgeons with expertise in surgical critical care, four physician assistants, and a supporting staff of anesthesiologists, ICU pharmacists, infectious disease specialists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, and physical medicine professionals. Two surgeons are on duty at all times, providing 24‑hour, 365‑day coverage. This comprehensive, round‑the‑clock approach enables the center to manage any complexity or severity of injury, from severe brain and spine trauma to complex pelvic fractures and facial injuries.

Located on NE Mother Joseph Pl, the Trauma Center sits just a short walk from PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and the Southwest Washington Medical Center Library, both about 0.1 mile away. It is also within a few blocks of Northeast 87th Avenue, East Mill Plain Boulevard, Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School, and John and Margrette Coop Park, each roughly 0.2 mile from the facility.

The center’s Level II designation and its extensive, continuously staffed specialist team make it a vital resource for trauma care in Vancouver and the broader Southwest Washington community.
