When seconds matter, having the highest level of trauma care close to home can make all the difference.
Mission Hospital is proud to be the only Level I Trauma Center serving Western North Carolina. This designation recognizes our ability to provide comprehensive, lifesaving trauma care 24/7, supported by highly specialized teams, advanced technology and coordinated emergency response across the region.
