The Medical Center, Navicent Health has been verified by the American College of Surgeons as a Level I trauma center and claims it is the only Level I trauma center in the state and only one of 11 hospitals in the Southeast to achieve this recognition.

The state of Georgia classifies trauma centers on a scale of levels I-IV, dependent on the level of care provided. Only six hospitals in the state – including MCNH – are classified at the most comprehensive level, Level I.

The Level I trauma team, which includes a number of surgeons in various specialties as well as specialized clinicians, is available 24 hours per day and able to provide the most sophisticated level of care for trauma patients.

Well...what happened to Grady? For years the medical center & Grady were the only 2 in Georgia. I was in Atlanta yesterday btw & that city just keep getting bigger & bigger. I came south on 75 from Marietta. Cranes line the midtown sky line, none rush hour traffic was bumper to bumper. Back to Macon; the Medical center is a true gem to Macon and often an overlooked economic powerhouse employing over 2,500.
