How can I find a Level 1 Trauma Center in my area?

You need to be careful nowadays, and with these random shootings and other events, you can't be too cautious. In case anything else happens, how can I find out if any hospitals are designated Level 1 Trauma Centers? What do these trauma centers have that others don't?

You local government should list the area trauma centers. The American College of Surgeons, Committee on Trauma (ACSCOT) lists all the trauma centers they verify by region and state. A simple Google search "trauma center in (your town)" will probably give you a useful answer.
In house surgeon, and the ambo's know the way.
