Trauma remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide between the ages of one to 44.
Over 1,400 patients are treated each year for traumatic injuries at Huntington Hospital. Common injuries treated include stabbings, gunshot wounds, motorcycle or bicycle crashes, car accidents, falls and many more.
Recent studies have shown that chances of survival are improved when care of a traumatically injured patient takes place at a dedicated trauma center committed to providing a specialized trauma team 24 hours/day.
To contact the Emergency/Trauma Center, please call at (626) 397-5112.
We have the longest running trauma center in the San Gabriel Valley. We provide trauma care 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week with highly-trained surgeons and nurses and state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies to enhance results when time is of the essence.
“Stop the Bleed” is a national initiative designed to provide bystanders with the tools and knowledge to stop life-threatening bleeding. Uncontrolled bleeding can result from man-made and natural disasters (e.g., active shooters, bombings, earthquakes) as well as everyday occuring emergencies (e.g. motor vehicle crashes, power tool accidents.)

In a cardiac arrest, every second counts. A cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, often while at home, at work or at play. And the victim could be someone you know and love. We believe anyone can learn the simple steps to save a life, and everyone should. Learn Hands-Only CPR here.
