Emergency & Trauma

The WakeMed Emergency Department is one of the largest and busiest in North Carolina. 

We provide emergency care for people of all ages, treating more than 147,000 patients each year in our four adult emergency departments and Children's Emergency Department on the WakeMed Raleigh Campus.

The WakeMed Raleigh Campus is also home to one of six Level I Trauma Centers, the highest designation awarded to trauma centers by the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services. 

As a North Carolina designated trauma center, WakeMed provides life-saving care to the citizens of Wake County and serves as a referral center for trauma patients from surrounding counties.
