Level I Trauma Center
STHS McAllen's Emergency Department is designated a Level I Trauma Center, which means we have the resources needed to provide the highest level of care before, during and after a trauma event. The ED is open 24/7 for patients who need immediate emergency surgery, including trauma, orthopedic or neurological procedures. The department cares for more than 30,000 patients each year — both adults and children — including those who have serious injuries.
