The region’s adult trauma center

Every year, the highly trained staff at ECMC saves hundreds of lives—people who are critically injured in an automobile accident, who suffer a serious fall or who are victims of violence. Often arriving by helicopter, these critically injured patients are treated immediately by a specialized medical team—one of the best in Western New York.

ECMC also has a Regional Burn Treatment Center. Established in 1989, it is the only unit of its kind in Western New York. With 24-hour-a-day burn care by a specially trained burn healthcare team, extensive rehabilitation programs and comprehensive psychosocial support, the Burn Center is an integral part of ECMC's trauma care services.
