Levels 1, 2, & 3 | Differences in trauma center resources with Andy Betz

[Ep58] Trauma centers in the United States tend to have special designations such as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and more. Having said that - the differences in available resources for those levels can sometimes be a little difficult to remember. 

So, let's clarify things with Andy Betz, MSN, BSN - aka the Trauma Program Manager within Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio. He also functions as a CNP at our local Mount Carmel East campus, which is a Level 2 Trauma Center.
