Frankfort Regional Medical Center is currently working towards achieving Level III trauma designation. As verified by the American College of Surgeons' Committee on Trauma, a Level III Trauma Center has demonstrated an ability to provide prompt assessment, resuscitation and stabilization of injured patients.

Key elements of a Level III Trauma Center include 24-hour immediate coverage by emergency medicine physicians and the prompt availability of surgeons (general & orthopedic) and anesthesiologists. The Level III program is dedicated to continued improvement in trauma care through a comprehensive quality assessment program. The Level III Trauma Center has developed transfer agreements for patients requiring more comprehensive care at a Level I or Level II Trauma Center.
