ALBANY – The Georgia Department of Public Health has designated Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital a Level II Trauma Center, hospital leadership announced at a news conference Wednesday.
Phoebe is the first Georgia hospital to earn this designation in nine years and now, only the second Level II Trauma Center south of Atlanta. Surveyors with the state DPH’s Office of EMS & Trauma made the recommendation after a recent site visit that included a tour of the emergency and trauma facilities, a review of Phoebe’s trauma protocols and data, as well as an evaluation of the Phoebe Trauma Program.
