CHRISTUS Spohn Richard King III Grand Classic raises funds for new Level II Trauma Center BY Will Leschper
The CHRISTUS Spohn Richard King III Grand Classic returned October 17 at the Corpus Christi Country Club, with sunshine welcoming nearly 150 players. Beecroft Construction was the presenting sponsor of the annual event. This yearâs proceeds will go toward the new Level II Trauma Center at the Shoreline campus. The Trauma Center is the only one of its kind in South Texas, providing life-saving services to a 12-county region, and serving as the go-to facility in the event of a catastrophic event. The Trauma Center ensures that 2,500+ seriously-injured patients per year have rapid access to the highest level of clinical trauma services at all times. The Trauma Center will be a separate medical facility verified by the American College of Surgeons and designated by the State of Texas to deliver highly-specialized timely treatment of severely injured patients.
The Level II Trauma Center will include: ⢠Four Trauma Bays to accommodate physicians, nurses and equipment needed for life-saving procedures. ⢠A designated Trauma Elevator that will transport seriously injured patients and their trauma team directly to the Trauma Operating Room in under two minutes, saving valuable time when minutes can mean the difference between life and death. ⢠A Radiology and Imaging Center, including MRI and CAT Scan equipment, so trauma patients do not have to be transported to another area of the hospital for radiology procedures. ⢠Highly skilled trauma physicians, specialists and nurses on the Shoreline campus at all times.
