SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – NOVEMBER 23: A sign outside of the main entrance at Regional Medical Center in San Jose, Calif., on Monday, Nov. 23, 2020. SAN JOSE — Earlier this year, Regional Medical Center announced plans to shutter its trauma center and downgrade and close other life savings programs, sending shockwaves through the East Side. But now, the hospital has decided to reverse course.
Instead of closing the trauma center altogether, it will be downgrading it from a Level II to a Level III facility, which will allow it to provide assessment, resucitation, surgery and other intensive care to trauma patients. “We worked closely with our emergency services partners to ensure we will meet the evolving medical needs of our patients and the East San Jose Community,” Regional Medical Center CEO Matt Cova said in a news release. “We’re pleased to have found a path that supports the revisions we’re announcing today.”
