Cooper University Hospital, home of Children\u2019s Regional Hospital, is also the only Pediatric Trauma Center in South Jersey verified by the American College of Surgeons.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cooper University Hospital is also the only hospital in the Delaware Valley that provides trauma care for both adults and children and is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in southern New Jersey. Each year, Cooper\u2019s trauma team cares for more than 5,000 patients, with approximately 15% being children with serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes, falls, recreational accidents, and acts of violence.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to understand that a trauma center is different from an emergency department. While emergency departments treat a wide range of urgent health issues, trauma centers are specifically equipped to care for the most severe, life-threatening injuries. At Cooper, these patients are treated in our trauma admitting area \u2013 separate from the emergency department \u2013 by a dedicated trauma team. If admitted, children remain under the care of our trauma service throughout their hospital stay and often continue follow-up through our outpatient clinic.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cOur goal is to provide life-saving trauma care for children while keeping families together during one of the most challenging moments of their lives,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/nicole-fox-md\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nicole Fox, MD, MPH, FACS, CPE<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, Associate Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director of Pediatric Trauma at Cooper. \u201cWe treat not just the injury, but the whole child and their support system.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Makes a Pediatric Trauma Center Different?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pediatric trauma patients are not just little adults.

Cada a\u00f1o, el equipo de traumatolog\u00eda de Cooper atiende a m\u00e1s de 5000 pacientes, de los cuales aproximadamente el 15 % son ni\u00f1os con lesiones graves causadas por accidentes automovil\u00edsticos, ca\u00eddas, accidentes recreativos y actos de violencia.<\/p>\n<p>Es importante comprender que un centro de traumatolog\u00eda es diferente a un servicio de urgencias.
