The Crozer Regional Trauma Center at Crozer-Chester Medical Center has been a leader in trauma care since opening its doors in 1986.

In that year, Crozer became one of the first trauma centers to receive accreditation by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation (PTSF). The Foundation was created by the Pennsylvania legislature to ensure continuity and quality of care delivered with the greatest possible speed to reduce the likelihood of death or permanent disability for injured patients.

Today, the Trauma Center is one of 26 statewide and remains Delaware County’s only trauma center, serving a population of about 600,000 Delaware County residents as well as portions of neighboring counties and states.

Over the past 20 years, the Trauma Center has cared for well over 26,000 patients.  During that time, patient volume has increased from about 600 annually to nearly 2,000, including more than 360 burn patients treated annually in collaboration with the renowned Nathan Speare Regional Burn Treatment Center.
