Columbus Community Hospital has a team of highly-trained emergency physicians and nurses who are on duty 24/7 to accurately assess and treat acute medical problems for patients of all ages. The Emergency Department (ED) team is also supported by qualified staff in respiratory care, social work, laboratory and radiology.

  • Developed transfer agreements for patients requiring more comprehensive care at a Level I or Level II Trauma Center 
CCH has been a Level III Trauma Center since 2006. The medical staff and personnel in CCH’s Trauma Center have received specialty training to resuscitate and stabilize trauma patients.
