As the official pediatric trauma referral center in the state of Maryland, the Division of Emergency Medicine works with the Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems to receive emergency trauma and other cases in Maryland from Cumberland to the Eastern Shore, but also from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Management of multisystem illness and trauma is provided through the Pediatric Emergency Department and the 40-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, which is staffed by pediatric surgeons and pediatric anesthesiology and critical care medicine specialists.
