East San Jose Hospital Won’T Close Trauma Center Amid Scrutiny
East San Jose may keep its only medical trauma center after all -- just not in the same form. Regional Medical Center -- the private hospital owned by for-profit company HCA Healthcare -- is walking back the planned closures of its trauma, heart attack and stroke care services which have kept residents alive in that part of town. The company announced today it would downgrade its Level 2 trauma center to a Level 3 center. It also says it's "revamping" the acute heart attack program to feature around-the-clock cardiologist availability and a daytime catheterization laboratory. The stroke center will address the needs of "97% of stroke patients," with the remaining cases managed and transferred to acute care providers, the company said.
