Trauma Center
After Fred Halstead was rear-ended by a car going 70 mph, he was rushed to The Rees-Jones Trauma Center at Parkland and treated for a concussion, severely broken wrist and cracked ribs.
He had never been to Parkland as a patient and soon realized the Level I trauma facility doesn't just treat injuries. Parkland focuses on a patient’s recovery, rehabilitation and re-entry into a healthy, active life. For Fred, that meant healing, getting back to playing golf, exercising and spending time with his grandchildren.
The Reality
- Over 7,500 patients are evaluated for trauma injuries at Parkland every year, leading to over 3,500 trauma admissions.
- The Rees-Jones Trauma Center acts as a referral resource for communities in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
- Parkland leads in injury prevention and public education to Dallas and surrounding communities.
- Each day, on average, 665 patients will be seen in the emergency department.
