With some of the best, most advanced treatments available. Our doctors and staff are also some of the most knowledgeable, experienced medical professionals. The trauma program at St. Joseph Health is a designated Level II Trauma Center by the Texas Department of State Health Services. This verification and designation makes St. Joseph Health Regional Hospital the highest-level trauma center in the region – meaning that we are equipped to handle the most critically ill and injured patients.

Our new 24,500 square foot Emergency & Trauma Center to provide residents of the Brazos Valley with even better access to advanced emergency care services.

When time is crucial, we beat the clock. St. Joseph Health’s new Emergency & Trauma Center allows our trauma teams to be even more efficient when treating serious incidents. We’ve created an environment that streamlines every aspect of treatment. By constructing an all-new facility we’ve been able to design the Emergency & Trauma Center specifically to meet the growing needs of our community while including the latest advances in emergency and trauma care and improving efficiency.

According to CDC data, St. Joseph Health’s emergency department cares for patients more acutely ill than national averages. That’s why we refuse to settle in the comfort of our achievements. We are fully committed to continual improvement– and fully prepared to help.
