DESCRIPTION:Not All Emergency Rooms Are the Same. Here's Why That Matters
for You and Your Family \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Aug
ust 12\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Most of us don’t thin
k about emergency care until we need it. But when something goes seriously
wrong — whether it’s a sudden illness\, a fall\, or an accident — y
ou head to the nearest ER. And in an emergency\, getting to any hospital f
ast is almost always the right decision. But once you’re through the doo
rs\, emergency care can look very different from one hospital to another.
Emergency departments vary in the specialists\, technology\, resources\, a
nd advanced services they have available. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n What Sets an Emergency Department Apart
? \n \n \n \n What matters most during a medical emerg
ency isn’t just what you see when you walk through the doors. It’s wha
t happens behind the scenes: the specialists available around the clock\,
the equipment and technology that is readily available\, and whether a hos
pital has met rigorous\, independently verified standards for specific kin
ds of emergencies. \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
That’s where designations like a Level I Trauma Center\, Comprehens
ive Stroke Center\, and specialized emergency departments come in. They re
present years of investment in people\, technology\, and resources to ensu
re patients in our community receive the most specialized level of care.
\n \n \n \n LRH is a Level I Trauma Center – the Hig
hest Level Available \n \n \n \n Trauma centers are de
signated based on the resources\, specialists\, and capabilities they have
available 24/7. A Level I Trauma Center is the highest level of trauma ca
re available\, equipped to care for both adult and pediatric patients with
the most complex injuries. Lakeland Regional Health is Polk County’s on
ly Level I Trauma Center. For patients and families\, that means: Immediat
e access to specialists. Trauma surgeons\, neurosurgeons\, orthopedic surg
eons\, and other specialists for adults and pediatric patients are availab
le 24/7 to respond immediately.Advanced operating rooms designed for emerg
encies. Hybrid operating rooms combine surgery and advanced imaging in one
space\, allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat patients without moving t
hem.Advanced imaging capabilities. Biplane interventional suites and high-
field MRI scanners provide highly detailed images to help physicians diagn
ose injuries and provide precise treatment.A commitment to prevention and
education. LRH works to prevent traumatic injuries through community educa
tion\, training\, and ongoing research that advances trauma care. \
n \n \n \n \n \n “The most significant impact of bei
ng a Level I Trauma Center\, is the ability to keep families together duri
ng a traumatic event\,” said Dr. Timothy Regan\, President\, Lakeland Re
gional Health Medical Center and Chief Medical Officer\, Lakeland Regional
Health. “We are equipped to provide advanced\, multidisciplinary trauma
care for patients of all ages\, 24/7\, while ensuring comprehensive and t
imely support when it matters most. Families no longer need to leave the c
ounty to be near their loved ones during recovery.” \n \n \n
\n \n \n A Comprehensive Stroke Center\, Right Here at Home
\n \n \n \n Just as with trauma care\, every minute ma
tters when someone is experiencing a stroke. Not every hospital has the ad
vanced capabilities and specialists needed to provide the highest level of
stroke care. Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has
earned the highest level of stroke certification available. It brings tog
ether specialized physicians\, advanced technology\, and coordinated care
to treat patients experiencing strokes and other complex neurological emer
gencies. Patients benefit from: Around-the-clock availability of stroke sp
ecialistsAdvanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Advanced imaging
and interventional technologies support the rapid diagnosis and treatment
of complex neurovascular conditions.Coordinated care from diagnosis throug
h recovery. Specialists from neurology\, neurosurgery\, radiology\, and re
habilitation work together to provide seamless care through every stage of
treatment.Specialized stroke rehabilitation. Patients who need intensive
rehabilitation after a stroke have access to the Bannasch Institute for Ad
vanced Rehabilitation Medicine\, Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program where a multidisciplinary team helps patients
regain strength\, independence\, and function.Nationally recognized care.
For the second consecutive year\, Lakeland Regional Health has received t
he American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gol
d Plus quality achievement award for providing timely\, evidence-based str
oke care. \n \n \n \n Specialized Emergency Care Beyon
d Trauma and Stroke \n \n \n \n Trauma and stroke care
are only part of the story. Lakeland Regional Health’s specialized emer
gency services extend further than most people realize. \n \n
\n \n Children’s Emergency Department \n \n \n \n
LRH is home to Polk County’s only dedicated Children’s Emergenc
y Department\, where physicians and nurses specialize in caring for infant
s\, children\, and adolescents in an environment designed to make them com
fortable. Through our partnership with Nemours Children’s Health\, pedia
tric patients also have access to a network of pediatric specialists when
additional care is needed. \n \n \n \n Obstetrics Eme
rgency Department \n \n \n \n For expectant and new mo
thers\, the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) is dedicated exclusivel
y to pregnant and postpartum patients. Led by OB/GYN physicians\, the OBED
provides rapid evaluation and expert treatment for pregnancy and childbir
th concerns when every moment matters. \n \n \n \n Ch
est Pain Center \n \n \n \n LRH is the only hospital i
n Polk County to earn the American College of Cardiology’s Chest Pain Ce
nter Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation\, recognizing excell
ence in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks. \n
\n \n \n ECMO \n \n \n \n LRH is home to Pol
k County’s only ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine\, a l
ife-saving technology that pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outsid
e the body to allow the heart and lungs to rest following heart or lung fa
ilure or heart surgery. For critically ill patients\, ECMO can provide lif
esaving support while the body heals. \n \n \n \n Fre
estanding Emergency Department \n \n \n \n For familie
s in South Lakeland\, the Freestanding Emergency Department provides 24/7
access close to home. Patients receive the same high-quality emergency car
e as at the main Medical Center\, and if a higher level of trauma care is
needed\, they are quickly transported to the Medical Center just minutes a
way. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Care That Continues Beyond the Emergency Department \n
\n \n \n Emergency care doesn’t end once a patient has be
en stabilized. When additional treatment or rehabilitation is needed\, LRH
brings together specialists across the health system to continue care wit
hout the need for transfers. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine \n
\n \n \n Home to Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program\, The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative M
edicine supports recovery long after an emergency ends. The Bannasch Insti
tute provides specialized rehabilitation for patients recovering from stro
ke\, brain and spinal cord injuries\, orthopedic surgery\, and other compl
ex conditions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n The Bottom Line \n \n \n \n Kn
owing where to go for care when an emergency happens can help you and your
family feel more prepared when every second counts. From specialized trau
ma and stroke care to dedicated emergency departments and advanced special
ty programs\, Lakeland Regional Health is prepared to care for you and you
r family when you need it most. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n Know Before You Need It \n
\n \n \n If this is a medical emergency\, call 911.

DESCRIPTION:Not All Emergency Rooms Are the Same. Here's Why That Matters
for You and Your Family \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Aug
ust 12\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Most of us don’t thin
k about emergency care until we need it. But when something goes seriously
wrong — whether it’s a sudden illness\, a fall\, or an accident — y
ou head to the nearest ER. And in an emergency\, getting to any hospital f
ast is almost always the right decision. But once you’re through the doo
rs\, emergency care can look very different from one hospital to another.
Emergency departments vary in the specialists\, technology\, resources\, a
nd advanced services they have available. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n What Sets an Emergency Department Apart
? \n \n \n \n What matters most during a medical emerg
ency isn’t just what you see when you walk through the doors. It’s wha
t happens behind the scenes: the specialists available around the clock\,
the equipment and technology that is readily available\, and whether a hos
pital has met rigorous\, independently verified standards for specific kin
ds of emergencies. \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
That’s where designations like a Level I Trauma Center\, Comprehens
ive Stroke Center\, and specialized emergency departments come in. They re
present years of investment in people\, technology\, and resources to ensu
re patients in our community receive the most specialized level of care.
\n \n \n \n LRH is a Level I Trauma Center – the Hig
hest Level Available \n \n \n \n Trauma centers are de
signated based on the resources\, specialists\, and capabilities they have
available 24/7. A Level I Trauma Center is the highest level of trauma ca
re available\, equipped to care for both adult and pediatric patients with
the most complex injuries. Lakeland Regional Health is Polk County’s on
ly Level I Trauma Center. For patients and families\, that means: Immediat
e access to specialists. Trauma surgeons\, neurosurgeons\, orthopedic surg
eons\, and other specialists for adults and pediatric patients are availab
le 24/7 to respond immediately.Advanced operating rooms designed for emerg
encies. Hybrid operating rooms combine surgery and advanced imaging in one
space\, allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat patients without moving t
hem.Advanced imaging capabilities. Biplane interventional suites and high-
field MRI scanners provide highly detailed images to help physicians diagn
ose injuries and provide precise treatment.A commitment to prevention and
education. LRH works to prevent traumatic injuries through community educa
tion\, training\, and ongoing research that advances trauma care. \
n \n \n \n \n \n “The most significant impact of bei
ng a Level I Trauma Center\, is the ability to keep families together duri
ng a traumatic event\,” said Dr. Timothy Regan\, President\, Lakeland Re
gional Health Medical Center and Chief Medical Officer\, Lakeland Regional
Health. “We are equipped to provide advanced\, multidisciplinary trauma
care for patients of all ages\, 24/7\, while ensuring comprehensive and t
imely support when it matters most. Families no longer need to leave the c
ounty to be near their loved ones during recovery.” \n \n \n
\n \n \n A Comprehensive Stroke Center\, Right Here at Home
\n \n \n \n Just as with trauma care\, every minute ma
tters when someone is experiencing a stroke. Not every hospital has the ad
vanced capabilities and specialists needed to provide the highest level of
stroke care. Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has
earned the highest level of stroke certification available. It brings tog
ether specialized physicians\, advanced technology\, and coordinated care
to treat patients experiencing strokes and other complex neurological emer
gencies. Patients benefit from: Around-the-clock availability of stroke sp
ecialistsAdvanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Advanced imaging
and interventional technologies support the rapid diagnosis and treatment
of complex neurovascular conditions.Coordinated care from diagnosis throug
h recovery. Specialists from neurology\, neurosurgery\, radiology\, and re
habilitation work together to provide seamless care through every stage of
treatment.Specialized stroke rehabilitation. Patients who need intensive
rehabilitation after a stroke have access to the Bannasch Institute for Ad
vanced Rehabilitation Medicine\, Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program where a multidisciplinary team helps patients
regain strength\, independence\, and function.Nationally recognized care.
For the second consecutive year\, Lakeland Regional Health has received t
he American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gol
d Plus quality achievement award for providing timely\, evidence-based str
oke care. \n \n \n \n Specialized Emergency Care Beyon
d Trauma and Stroke \n \n \n \n Trauma and stroke care
are only part of the story. Lakeland Regional Health’s specialized emer
gency services extend further than most people realize. \n \n
\n \n Children’s Emergency Department \n \n \n \n
LRH is home to Polk County’s only dedicated Children’s Emergenc
y Department\, where physicians and nurses specialize in caring for infant
s\, children\, and adolescents in an environment designed to make them com
fortable. Through our partnership with Nemours Children’s Health\, pedia
tric patients also have access to a network of pediatric specialists when
additional care is needed. \n \n \n \n Obstetrics Eme
rgency Department \n \n \n \n For expectant and new mo
thers\, the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) is dedicated exclusivel
y to pregnant and postpartum patients. Led by OB/GYN physicians\, the OBED
provides rapid evaluation and expert treatment for pregnancy and childbir
th concerns when every moment matters. \n \n \n \n Ch
est Pain Center \n \n \n \n LRH is the only hospital i
n Polk County to earn the American College of Cardiology’s Chest Pain Ce
nter Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation\, recognizing excell
ence in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks. \n
\n \n \n ECMO \n \n \n \n LRH is home to Pol
k County’s only ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine\, a l
ife-saving technology that pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outsid
e the body to allow the heart and lungs to rest following heart or lung fa
ilure or heart surgery. For critically ill patients\, ECMO can provide lif
esaving support while the body heals. \n \n \n \n Fre
estanding Emergency Department \n \n \n \n For familie
s in South Lakeland\, the Freestanding Emergency Department provides 24/7
access close to home. Patients receive the same high-quality emergency car
e as at the main Medical Center\, and if a higher level of trauma care is
needed\, they are quickly transported to the Medical Center just minutes a
way. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Care That Continues Beyond the Emergency Department \n
\n \n \n Emergency care doesn’t end once a patient has be
en stabilized. When additional treatment or rehabilitation is needed\, LRH
brings together specialists across the health system to continue care wit
hout the need for transfers. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine \n
\n \n \n Home to Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program\, The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative M
edicine supports recovery long after an emergency ends. The Bannasch Insti
tute provides specialized rehabilitation for patients recovering from stro
ke\, brain and spinal cord injuries\, orthopedic surgery\, and other compl
ex conditions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n The Bottom Line \n \n \n \n Kn
owing where to go for care when an emergency happens can help you and your
family feel more prepared when every second counts. From specialized trau
ma and stroke care to dedicated emergency departments and advanced special
ty programs\, Lakeland Regional Health is prepared to care for you and you
r family when you need it most. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n Know Before You Need It \n
\n \n \n If this is a medical emergency\, call 911.

DESCRIPTION:Not All Emergency Rooms Are the Same. Here's Why That Matters
for You and Your Family \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Aug
ust 12\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Most of us don’t thin
k about emergency care until we need it. But when something goes seriously
wrong — whether it’s a sudden illness\, a fall\, or an accident — y
ou head to the nearest ER. And in an emergency\, getting to any hospital f
ast is almost always the right decision. But once you’re through the doo
rs\, emergency care can look very different from one hospital to another.
Emergency departments vary in the specialists\, technology\, resources\, a
nd advanced services they have available. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n What Sets an Emergency Department Apart
? \n \n \n \n What matters most during a medical emerg
ency isn’t just what you see when you walk through the doors. It’s wha
t happens behind the scenes: the specialists available around the clock\,
the equipment and technology that is readily available\, and whether a hos
pital has met rigorous\, independently verified standards for specific kin
ds of emergencies. \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
That’s where designations like a Level I Trauma Center\, Comprehens
ive Stroke Center\, and specialized emergency departments come in. They re
present years of investment in people\, technology\, and resources to ensu
re patients in our community receive the most specialized level of care.
\n \n \n \n LRH is a Level I Trauma Center – the Hig
hest Level Available \n \n \n \n Trauma centers are de
signated based on the resources\, specialists\, and capabilities they have
available 24/7. A Level I Trauma Center is the highest level of trauma ca
re available\, equipped to care for both adult and pediatric patients with
the most complex injuries. Lakeland Regional Health is Polk County’s on
ly Level I Trauma Center. For patients and families\, that means: Immediat
e access to specialists. Trauma surgeons\, neurosurgeons\, orthopedic surg
eons\, and other specialists for adults and pediatric patients are availab
le 24/7 to respond immediately.Advanced operating rooms designed for emerg
encies. Hybrid operating rooms combine surgery and advanced imaging in one
space\, allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat patients without moving t
hem.Advanced imaging capabilities. Biplane interventional suites and high-
field MRI scanners provide highly detailed images to help physicians diagn
ose injuries and provide precise treatment.A commitment to prevention and
education. LRH works to prevent traumatic injuries through community educa
tion\, training\, and ongoing research that advances trauma care. \
n \n \n \n \n \n “The most significant impact of bei
ng a Level I Trauma Center\, is the ability to keep families together duri
ng a traumatic event\,” said Dr. Timothy Regan\, President\, Lakeland Re
gional Health Medical Center and Chief Medical Officer\, Lakeland Regional
Health. “We are equipped to provide advanced\, multidisciplinary trauma
care for patients of all ages\, 24/7\, while ensuring comprehensive and t
imely support when it matters most. Families no longer need to leave the c
ounty to be near their loved ones during recovery.” \n \n \n
\n \n \n A Comprehensive Stroke Center\, Right Here at Home
\n \n \n \n Just as with trauma care\, every minute ma
tters when someone is experiencing a stroke. Not every hospital has the ad
vanced capabilities and specialists needed to provide the highest level of
stroke care. Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has
earned the highest level of stroke certification available. It brings tog
ether specialized physicians\, advanced technology\, and coordinated care
to treat patients experiencing strokes and other complex neurological emer
gencies. Patients benefit from: Around-the-clock availability of stroke sp
ecialistsAdvanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Advanced imaging
and interventional technologies support the rapid diagnosis and treatment
of complex neurovascular conditions.Coordinated care from diagnosis throug
h recovery. Specialists from neurology\, neurosurgery\, radiology\, and re
habilitation work together to provide seamless care through every stage of
treatment.Specialized stroke rehabilitation. Patients who need intensive
rehabilitation after a stroke have access to the Bannasch Institute for Ad
vanced Rehabilitation Medicine\, Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program where a multidisciplinary team helps patients
regain strength\, independence\, and function.Nationally recognized care.
For the second consecutive year\, Lakeland Regional Health has received t
he American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gol
d Plus quality achievement award for providing timely\, evidence-based str
oke care. \n \n \n \n Specialized Emergency Care Beyon
d Trauma and Stroke \n \n \n \n Trauma and stroke care
are only part of the story. Lakeland Regional Health’s specialized emer
gency services extend further than most people realize. \n \n
\n \n Children’s Emergency Department \n \n \n \n
LRH is home to Polk County’s only dedicated Children’s Emergenc
y Department\, where physicians and nurses specialize in caring for infant
s\, children\, and adolescents in an environment designed to make them com
fortable. Through our partnership with Nemours Children’s Health\, pedia
tric patients also have access to a network of pediatric specialists when
additional care is needed. \n \n \n \n Obstetrics Eme
rgency Department \n \n \n \n For expectant and new mo
thers\, the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) is dedicated exclusivel
y to pregnant and postpartum patients. Led by OB/GYN physicians\, the OBED
provides rapid evaluation and expert treatment for pregnancy and childbir
th concerns when every moment matters. \n \n \n \n Ch
est Pain Center \n \n \n \n LRH is the only hospital i
n Polk County to earn the American College of Cardiology’s Chest Pain Ce
nter Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation\, recognizing excell
ence in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks. \n
\n \n \n ECMO \n \n \n \n LRH is home to Pol
k County’s only ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine\, a l
ife-saving technology that pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outsid
e the body to allow the heart and lungs to rest following heart or lung fa
ilure or heart surgery. For critically ill patients\, ECMO can provide lif
esaving support while the body heals. \n \n \n \n Fre
estanding Emergency Department \n \n \n \n For familie
s in South Lakeland\, the Freestanding Emergency Department provides 24/7
access close to home. Patients receive the same high-quality emergency car
e as at the main Medical Center\, and if a higher level of trauma care is
needed\, they are quickly transported to the Medical Center just minutes a
way. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Care That Continues Beyond the Emergency Department \n
\n \n \n Emergency care doesn’t end once a patient has be
en stabilized. When additional treatment or rehabilitation is needed\, LRH
brings together specialists across the health system to continue care wit
hout the need for transfers. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine \n
\n \n \n Home to Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program\, The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative M
edicine supports recovery long after an emergency ends. The Bannasch Insti
tute provides specialized rehabilitation for patients recovering from stro
ke\, brain and spinal cord injuries\, orthopedic surgery\, and other compl
ex conditions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n The Bottom Line \n \n \n \n Kn
owing where to go for care when an emergency happens can help you and your
family feel more prepared when every second counts. From specialized trau
ma and stroke care to dedicated emergency departments and advanced special
ty programs\, Lakeland Regional Health is prepared to care for you and you
r family when you need it most. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n Know Before You Need It \n
\n \n \n If this is a medical emergency\, call 911.

DESCRIPTION:Not All Emergency Rooms Are the Same. Here's Why That Matters
for You and Your Family \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Aug
ust 12\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Most of us don’t thin
k about emergency care until we need it. But when something goes seriously
wrong — whether it’s a sudden illness\, a fall\, or an accident — y
ou head to the nearest ER. And in an emergency\, getting to any hospital f
ast is almost always the right decision. But once you’re through the doo
rs\, emergency care can look very different from one hospital to another.
Emergency departments vary in the specialists\, technology\, resources\, a
nd advanced services they have available. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n What Sets an Emergency Department Apart
? \n \n \n \n What matters most during a medical emerg
ency isn’t just what you see when you walk through the doors. It’s wha
t happens behind the scenes: the specialists available around the clock\,
the equipment and technology that is readily available\, and whether a hos
pital has met rigorous\, independently verified standards for specific kin
ds of emergencies. \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
That’s where designations like a Level I Trauma Center\, Comprehens
ive Stroke Center\, and specialized emergency departments come in. They re
present years of investment in people\, technology\, and resources to ensu
re patients in our community receive the most specialized level of care.
\n \n \n \n LRH is a Level I Trauma Center – the Hig
hest Level Available \n \n \n \n Trauma centers are de
signated based on the resources\, specialists\, and capabilities they have
available 24/7. A Level I Trauma Center is the highest level of trauma ca
re available\, equipped to care for both adult and pediatric patients with
the most complex injuries. Lakeland Regional Health is Polk County’s on
ly Level I Trauma Center. For patients and families\, that means: Immediat
e access to specialists. Trauma surgeons\, neurosurgeons\, orthopedic surg
eons\, and other specialists for adults and pediatric patients are availab
le 24/7 to respond immediately.Advanced operating rooms designed for emerg
encies. Hybrid operating rooms combine surgery and advanced imaging in one
space\, allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat patients without moving t
hem.Advanced imaging capabilities. Biplane interventional suites and high-
field MRI scanners provide highly detailed images to help physicians diagn
ose injuries and provide precise treatment.A commitment to prevention and
education. LRH works to prevent traumatic injuries through community educa
tion\, training\, and ongoing research that advances trauma care. \
n \n \n \n \n \n “The most significant impact of bei
ng a Level I Trauma Center\, is the ability to keep families together duri
ng a traumatic event\,” said Dr. Timothy Regan\, President\, Lakeland Re
gional Health Medical Center and Chief Medical Officer\, Lakeland Regional
Health. “We are equipped to provide advanced\, multidisciplinary trauma
care for patients of all ages\, 24/7\, while ensuring comprehensive and t
imely support when it matters most. Families no longer need to leave the c
ounty to be near their loved ones during recovery.” \n \n \n
\n \n \n A Comprehensive Stroke Center\, Right Here at Home
\n \n \n \n Just as with trauma care\, every minute ma
tters when someone is experiencing a stroke. Not every hospital has the ad
vanced capabilities and specialists needed to provide the highest level of
stroke care. Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has
earned the highest level of stroke certification available. It brings tog
ether specialized physicians\, advanced technology\, and coordinated care
to treat patients experiencing strokes and other complex neurological emer
gencies. Patients benefit from: Around-the-clock availability of stroke sp
ecialistsAdvanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Advanced imaging
and interventional technologies support the rapid diagnosis and treatment
of complex neurovascular conditions.Coordinated care from diagnosis throug
h recovery. Specialists from neurology\, neurosurgery\, radiology\, and re
habilitation work together to provide seamless care through every stage of
treatment.Specialized stroke rehabilitation. Patients who need intensive
rehabilitation after a stroke have access to the Bannasch Institute for Ad
vanced Rehabilitation Medicine\, Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program where a multidisciplinary team helps patients
regain strength\, independence\, and function.Nationally recognized care.
For the second consecutive year\, Lakeland Regional Health has received t
he American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gol
d Plus quality achievement award for providing timely\, evidence-based str
oke care. \n \n \n \n Specialized Emergency Care Beyon

are only part of the story. Lakeland Regional Health’s specialized emer

\n \n Children’s Emergency Department \n \n \n \n
LRH is home to Polk County’s only dedicated Children’s Emergenc

s\, children\, and adolescents in an environment designed to make them com
fortable. Through our partnership with Nemours Children’s Health\, pedia
tric patients also have access to a network of pediatric specialists when
additional care is needed. \n \n \n \n Obstetrics Eme

thers\, the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) is dedicated exclusivel

ife-saving technology that pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outsid
e the body to allow the heart and lungs to rest following heart or lung fa
ilure or heart surgery. For critically ill patients\, ECMO can provide lif
esaving support while the body heals. \n \n \n \n Fre

needed\, they are quickly transported to the Medical Center just minutes a
way. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Care That Continues Beyond the Emergency Department \n
\n \n \n Emergency care doesn’t end once a patient has be
en stabilized. When additional treatment or rehabilitation is needed\, LRH
brings together specialists across the health system to continue care wit
hout the need for transfers. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine \n

DESCRIPTION:Not All Emergency Rooms Are the Same. Here's Why That Matters
for You and Your Family \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Aug
ust 12\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Most of us don’t thin
k about emergency care until we need it. But when something goes seriously
wrong — whether it’s a sudden illness\, a fall\, or an accident — y
ou head to the nearest ER. And in an emergency\, getting to any hospital f
ast is almost always the right decision. But once you’re through the doo
rs\, emergency care can look very different from one hospital to another.
Emergency departments vary in the specialists\, technology\, resources\, a
nd advanced services they have available. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n What Sets an Emergency Department Apart
? \n \n \n \n What matters most during a medical emerg
ency isn’t just what you see when you walk through the doors. It’s wha
t happens behind the scenes: the specialists available around the clock\,
the equipment and technology that is readily available\, and whether a hos
pital has met rigorous\, independently verified standards for specific kin
ds of emergencies. \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
That’s where designations like a Level I Trauma Center\, Comprehens
ive Stroke Center\, and specialized emergency departments come in. They re
present years of investment in people\, technology\, and resources to ensu
re patients in our community receive the most specialized level of care.
\n \n \n \n LRH is a Level I Trauma Center – the Hig
hest Level Available \n \n \n \n Trauma centers are de
signated based on the resources\, specialists\, and capabilities they have
available 24/7. A Level I Trauma Center is the highest level of trauma ca
re available\, equipped to care for both adult and pediatric patients with
the most complex injuries. Lakeland Regional Health is Polk County’s on
ly Level I Trauma Center. For patients and families\, that means: Immediat
e access to specialists. Trauma surgeons\, neurosurgeons\, orthopedic surg
eons\, and other specialists for adults and pediatric patients are availab
le 24/7 to respond immediately.Advanced operating rooms designed for emerg
encies. Hybrid operating rooms combine surgery and advanced imaging in one
space\, allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat patients without moving t
hem.Advanced imaging capabilities. Biplane interventional suites and high-
field MRI scanners provide highly detailed images to help physicians diagn
ose injuries and provide precise treatment.A commitment to prevention and
education. LRH works to prevent traumatic injuries through community educa
tion\, training\, and ongoing research that advances trauma care. \
n \n \n \n \n \n “The most significant impact of bei
ng a Level I Trauma Center\, is the ability to keep families together duri
ng a traumatic event\,” said Dr. Timothy Regan\, President\, Lakeland Re
gional Health Medical Center and Chief Medical Officer\, Lakeland Regional
Health. “We are equipped to provide advanced\, multidisciplinary trauma
care for patients of all ages\, 24/7\, while ensuring comprehensive and t
imely support when it matters most. Families no longer need to leave the c
ounty to be near their loved ones during recovery.” \n \n \n
\n \n \n A Comprehensive Stroke Center\, Right Here at Home
\n \n \n \n Just as with trauma care\, every minute ma
tters when someone is experiencing a stroke. Not every hospital has the ad
vanced capabilities and specialists needed to provide the highest level of
stroke care. Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has
earned the highest level of stroke certification available. It brings tog
ether specialized physicians\, advanced technology\, and coordinated care
to treat patients experiencing strokes and other complex neurological emer
gencies. Patients benefit from: Around-the-clock availability of stroke sp
ecialistsAdvanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Advanced imaging
and interventional technologies support the rapid diagnosis and treatment
of complex neurovascular conditions.Coordinated care from diagnosis throug
h recovery. Specialists from neurology\, neurosurgery\, radiology\, and re
habilitation work together to provide seamless care through every stage of
treatment.Specialized stroke rehabilitation. Patients who need intensive
rehabilitation after a stroke have access to the Bannasch Institute for Ad
vanced Rehabilitation Medicine\, Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
tient rehabilitation program where a multidisciplinary team helps patients
regain strength\, independence\, and function.Nationally recognized care.
For the second consecutive year\, Lakeland Regional Health has received t
he American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gol
d Plus quality achievement award for providing timely\, evidence-based str
oke care. \n \n \n \n Specialized Emergency Care Beyon
d Trauma and Stroke \n \n \n \n Trauma and stroke care
are only part of the story. Lakeland Regional Health’s specialized emer
gency services extend further than most people realize. \n \n
\n \n Children’s Emergency Department \n \n \n \n
LRH is home to Polk County’s only dedicated Children’s Emergenc
y Department\, where physicians and nurses specialize in caring for infant
s\, children\, and adolescents in an environment designed to make them com
fortable. Through our partnership with Nemours Children’s Health\, pedia
tric patients also have access to a network of pediatric specialists when
additional care is needed. \n \n \n \n Obstetrics Eme
rgency Department \n \n \n \n For expectant and new mo
thers\, the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) is dedicated exclusivel
y to pregnant and postpartum patients. Led by OB/GYN physicians\, the OBED
provides rapid evaluation and expert treatment for pregnancy and childbir
th concerns when every moment matters. \n \n \n \n Ch
est Pain Center \n \n \n \n LRH is the only hospital i
n Polk County to earn the American College of Cardiology’s Chest Pain Ce
nter Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation\, recognizing excell
ence in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks. \n
\n \n \n ECMO \n \n \n \n LRH is home to Pol
k County’s only ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine\, a l
ife-saving technology that pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outsid
e the body to allow the heart and lungs to rest following heart or lung fa
ilure or heart surgery. For critically ill patients\, ECMO can provide lif
esaving support while the body heals. \n \n \n \n Fre
estanding Emergency Department \n \n \n \n For familie
s in South Lakeland\, the Freestanding Emergency Department provides 24/7
access close to home. Patients receive the same high-quality emergency car
e as at the main Medical Center\, and if a higher level of trauma care is
needed\, they are quickly transported to the Medical Center just minutes a
way. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Care That Continues Beyond the Emergency Department \n
\n \n \n Emergency care doesn’t end once a patient has be
en stabilized. When additional treatment or rehabilitation is needed\, LRH
brings together specialists across the health system to continue care wit
hout the need for transfers. \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n The Bannasch Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine \n
\n \n \n Home to Polk County’s only CARF-accredited inpa
