About Dell Children's Medical Center
Dell Children’s Medical Center is the only American College of Surgeons Level 1 pediatric trauma center in Central Texas and one of five in Texas. Our trauma center offers the highest level of care available to children who have been victims of trauma.
Our Pediatric Level I Trauma Center is a vital community asset. When a family member or loved one is injured, having the highest-level of care available can mean the difference between life and death. The American Trauma Society categorizes trauma centers according to a number of factors, including how many patients are admitted each year and the types of services provided. Available resources are then verified by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). The verification process is voluntary, and takes three years to complete.
