Strong Regional Burn and Trauma Center
Patient & Visitor Information
Critical Care Transport Service
Everyday, paramedics face difficult challenges in transporting
extremely sick patients between hospitals. To decrease potential
risks for critically-ill cardiac,
burn and trauma patients while en route, Strong Health has introduced
a Critical Care Transport
Service to the Greater Rochester region. This is a service for adult patients. Learn more about critical care transport service available for children
 At the heart of this service
is a new, made-to-order vehicle created in partnership with Rural/Metro
Medical Services. Strong Health’s
cardiac, trauma and burn physicians and nurses collaborated with
specially trained Rural/Metro paramedics and engineers to custom-design
all aspects of the vehicle, from its size, to its Global Positioning
Navigation System (GPS), to the number of shelves in its interior
cabin.
The need for such a vehicle grew dramatically over the last several
years as the number of critical care services increased
at Strong Memorial Hospital, including:
- Heart failure and transplantation
- Solid organ transplant
- Expanded
trauma and burn services

“Our new Critical

sick
patients, along with all of the extremely sophisticated equipment
that is keeping them alive, in a manner that gives them the best
chance of survival,” said Dr.
H. Todd Massey, Surgical Director for the Strong Health Program
in Heart Failure and Transplantation.
