NEENAH – ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah has been re-verified as a Level II Trauma Center for a period of three years by the Verification Review Committee (VRC), a subcommittee of the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons, which is good until May 2026.
“ThedaCare has the processes and people in place to provide essential trauma care to our communities,” Lynn Detterman, senior vice president of ThedaCare South Region, said. “We are proud to have ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah serving as our anchor hospital for critical care with services such as the Level II Trauma Center.”
The verification program confirms a trauma center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality trauma care for all injured patients.
There are five separate categories of verification in the COT’s program (Level I Trauma Center, Level II Trauma Center, Level III Trauma Center, Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and Level II Pediatric Trauma Center), each with specific criteria that must be met by a facility seeking that level of verification.
ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah is one of nine adult Level II trauma centers in Wisconsin.
Only two hospitals in the state have the adult Level I designation.
ThedaCare’s Level II Trauma Center has been continuously verified since 1998.
