UF Health TraumaOne

UF Health TraumaOne The only adult and pediatric Level I trauma program in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. It is a rigorous review of every aspect of the program.
(1)

When UF Health TraumaOne began in 1983, it was the first trauma program in the state of Florida. Today, it is still the only adult and pediatric Level I trauma program in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. On any given day, anyone can end up a patient in the TraumaOne trauma center. Ordinary activities - picking up the kids from school, painting the house, walking the dog - can turn into a life-or-death situation in the blink of an eye. UF Health TraumaOne consists of five components:
- Trauma center
- Flight services
- Communications/dispatch
- Trauma prevention and education
- Emergency preparedness

TraumaOne's highly qualified staff consists of UF Health trauma surgeons, nurses and others with extensive training in caring for trauma patients. Unlike other hospitals in the area, surgeons and other health professionals such as neurosurgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthopaedic trauma surgeons and cardiothoracic surgeons are available on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The state's trauma programs are governed by a strict set of standards set by the Florida Department of Health. Every three years, TraumaOne undergoes a site visit in order to maintain its Level I trauma center accreditation. In 2013, UF Health TraumaOne added a third helicopter and implemented a new policy to dramatically cut down on our response time. Instead of basing our helicopters at UF Health Jacksonville, we have strategically placed them around the region ready to fly at a moment’s notice. Locations include Flagler Hospital in St. Johns County, Yulee in Nassau County, and Lake City Regional Airport in Columbia County.

Keep button batteries out of little hands and mouths. If you’re looking for gifts for a child in your life, steer clear of small toys that light up or play sounds. Chances are these toys are powered by button batteries which can cause serious harm if swallowed or get stuck in a little nose or ear. It’s also smart to keep to say no to greeting cards that play music, because these are also powered by button batteries. Stay safe this holiday season!

TraumaOne and ShandsCair 3 — doing what we do best 🧡💙🚁❤️🖤
Different aircraft, same mission: delivering critical care when it matters most. Always proud to work alongside our ShandsCair family, ready for the next call.

ShandsCair 3 and UF Health TraumaOne hanging out together, after completing flights!

Did you know that all UF Health ShandsCair and Trauma One helicopters go to the Gatorport, after bringing a patient to Gainesville? At the Gatorport, pilots can quickly refuel the aircraft and get back into service quickly for the next flight request!

Early activation of ShandsCair is the key to improved patient outcomes!
