CALIFORNIA MEDICAL FACILITIES

This is a list of all the hospitals in California by trauma level and capability. You should be transporting patients experiencing trauma injuries to the highest trauma center possible, considering distance. If needed, you can transport to a hospital with an emergency department with a lower trauma level so long as you RP out the transport of the patient from that facility to a higher capable trauma center (ie. transported a gunshot wound patient to TBCC. In chat, put via /gaction: "Patient is diverted from TBMC to PHMC for higher trauma care").
