Trauma and Burn Care

Mercy Hospital treats severe traumas around the clock in one of the state’s most advanced, and most active, trauma centers. Mercy is a Missouri and Arkansas designated Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center.

And Mercy is committed to providing access to rapid critical care throughout the community. With 14 EMS ground units and three helicopter sites strategically located across the region, we’re able to quickly reach patients over a 6800 square mile area.

• When patients arrive, a complete Mercy burn/trauma team, from trauma surgeons to registered nurses and burn technicians, will be standing by to help.
• To reduce healing time for skin grafts in burn patients, Mercy Medical Research Institute pioneered and developed the Silver/Nylon Wound Dressing.
• Our Injury Prevention Center reaches over 80,000 people each year through educational programs such as car seat, bike and ATV safety in addition to a teen driving program focused on keeping your child safe.
