Community Regional Medical Center is home to central California’s only burn and Level 1 trauma center. The Level 1 designation is the highest level of distinction for trauma care. No other hospital from Los Angeles to Sacramento can provide this level of care. To achieve Level 1 status, Community has met strict guidelines concerning patient care and is certified to provide medical care for the most critically injured patients, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Leon S. Peters Burn Center and Table Mountain Rancheria Level 1 Trauma Center provide acute and intensive care services for adult and pediatric trauma patients, hyperbaric patients, adult and pediatric burn patients, as well as burn wound care for inpatients and outpatients. In addition to treating burn and trauma victims, the two centers are dedicated to educating the public on the importance of injury and burn prevention.

In April 2007, burn and trauma services moved from University Medical Center to the new 340,000-square-foot trauma and critical care building located on the 58-acre Community Regional Medical Center campus in downtown Fresno. The six-story trauma and critical care building features 68 emergency treatment areas, 58 intensive care treatment rooms, 10 intensive care burn treatment rooms and an expanded wound/burn therapy and hyperbaric center in an adjacent outpatient burn clinic.
