Doctors are board-certified trauma physicians, and all registered nurses and staff have received specialized training and trauma certifications in their particular fields. Level III trauma also means that the surgical department physicians all have certifications in advanced trauma life support and all surgical nurses hold their respective trauma certifications as well. The trauma designation also means that advanced equipment and technology is available.

The trauma system places a patient in a specific track through the entire hospitalization process.

What this means to the ordinary person is that they receive a much higher level of care. It is all an example of the fulfillment of Good Shepherd Medical Center - Marshall’s commitment to this community to provide the best of care

Please note: The Marshall Family Health Clinic is located directly across from the emergency department and is open seven days a week for non-emergent care.
