Lake Huron Medical Center Designated Level III Trauma Center

Lake Huron Medical Center (LHMC) recently received a Level III trauma center designation from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. With this designation, Lake Huron Medical Center now has the ability to treat patients with more serious, possibly life-threatening, injuries. According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Level III trauma centers can provide prompt assessment, resuscitation, stabilization, and more through an organized trauma response.  In Michigan, participating in the trauma center designation process is voluntary on the part of the hospital. It is intended to identify those hospitals that make a commitment to provide a higher level of care for severely injured patients and who welcome public acknowledgment of that capability. Prior to this official rating, Lake Huron Medical Center had a provisional status.
