Murray touts additional-funding bill for Harborview - State Government - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington: "Harborview, the only Level 1 trauma center in Washington state, Idaho, Montana and Alaska, treats between 6,500 and 7,000 of the most severely injured patients a year. It's one of the busiest in the nation.
But it and the 233 other Level 1 trauma centers nationwide are in need of some economic life support. Battered by rising costs while required to operate 24/7 year round and accept patients whether they can pay or not, nearly one in every 10 Level 1 centers has closed since 2000 while others have downgraded their level of trauma service.
"
Harborview is wonderful but is trauma care a federal issue?
One man's pork is another's trafe.
