Strong Regional Trauma Center
Patient & Visitor Information
Laurence and Dennis Kessler Trauma Unit Within the Emergency Department at Strong Memorial Hospital
 Perhaps the greatest showpiece of Strong Memorial Hospital's
emergency department is the Laurence and Dennis Kessler Trauma Unit, a 3,200-square-foot
space
for
patients
with life-threatening illnesses and injuries. The trauma unit can comfortably
accommodate seven patients, and up to 14 patients in a mass casualty
incident.
Overhead imaging equipment eliminates the need for
patients to be moved for X-rays, while ceiling mounted heating
units provide warmth. The unit was made possible through
a $1 million donation from Laurence and Dennis Kessler, owners
of 22 local Burger King restaurants. Patients with critical
injuries can be rapidly transported from the roof-top helipad
mounted
atop Strong Memorial Hospital's eighth floor.
