Riley Hospital for Children is verified as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). One of a select number of children’s hospitals in the nation to earn this designation, the hospital received its first Level I pediatric trauma center verification in 1993. The most recent reverification was in 2022. The ACS cites the hospital’s robust quality improvement review as one of the strengths of the trauma program at Riley Children’s.
