Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s Trauma Center Marks 40^th Anniversary

Hospital Holds Ceremony on May 21 to Celebrate Milestone

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s Level II Trauma Center marked 40 years of service at a ceremony on May 21.

Santa Clarita mayor Cameron Smyth spoke at the ceremony.  He thanked Henry Mayo for the service it provides to the community and recounted that his son had been a Henry Mayo trauma patient.

Henry Mayo was designated a Level II Trauma Center in 1984, shortly after Los Angeles County established its countywide Trauma Center System

In addition to its designation as a Level II Trauma Center by the county of Los Angeles, Henry Mayo’s Trauma Center is also an American College of Surgeons (ACS) verified Level II Trauma Center, and was recently designated an “ACS Surgical Quality Partner.”

The ACS designation further reinforces our commitment to meeting the highest standards outlined by the American College of Surgeons,” said Gilda Cruz-Manglapus, Henry Mayo Trauma Program Manager. “As an ACS-verified trauma center and a participant in the ACS Trauma Quality Improvement Program, Henry Mayo is dedicated to providing the best possible care for trauma patients in our community, now and for another 40 years.”

“As a Level Two Trauma Center, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital is proud of the role we play in the country trauma system,” said Kevin A. Klockenga, Henry Mayo’s president and CEO.  “We are privileged to provide critical trauma services to our community.”
