Regional Trauma Center

St. Luke’s Regional Trauma Center is the region’s leader in the treatment of trauma patients. In 1975, St. Luke’s established the region’s first trauma program. Five years later, the hospital earned the distinction of a federally designated Regional Trauma Center for the 19-county region of northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Recognizing this tradition of leadership and excellence in trauma, the American College of Surgeons verified St. Luke’s as a Level II Trauma Center in 1990. The Trauma Program was reverified in 1994, 1997 and 2000.

Our organized trauma program means that everyone who needs to care for you will be there in your most critical moments—from the chaplain who waits with your family to the neurosurgeon standing by. It’s coordinated. It’s in control. And it’s complete trauma care.

It is an entire team of experts designed to provide every trauma service, including: emergency trauma care, microsurgery and limb attachment, open heart surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, obstetrics/newborn services, ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, physical medicine and sport medicine, plastic surgery, psychiatry, the Mental Health Resource Center, urology, vascular/thoracic surgery, the Regional Vascular Institute, the Regional Stroke Program and rehabilitative services.

Luke's One

No matter where you live in northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, our air medical transport service is available for flights to St. Luke’s.

Cruising at 168 mph less than ten minutes after dispatch, Luke’s One is the fastest medical helicopter based in the western Lake Superior region. It’s quick, certainly, but more importantly, it is literally a flying intensive care unit with room for a patient, a registered nurse, a paramedic and a pilot.

Luke’s One—the most immediate choice for:

  • Severe trauma
  • Head or spinal cord injuries
  • Limb reattachment
  • Burns
  • Near drowning/SCUBA accidents
  • Cardiac emergencies
  • High-risk obstetrical emergencies
  • Acute medical conditions
