When TraumaOne began in 1983, it was the first trauma program in the state of Florida. Today, it is still the only adult and pediatric Level I trauma program in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.
For some of the thousands of patients referred to Shands at the University of Florida each year, intensive care given at outside hospitals and en route by the ShandsCair flight team makes the difference. Saving time in an emergency situation is often the difference between life and death. Your dollars will truly make a difference to this life-saving program.
