Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan has been reinstated as a trauma center, more than a month after it was stripped of the title.
The Illinois Department of Public Health announced the reinstatement on Monday.Mike Claffey of IDPH stated in an email to FOX 32, "IDPH’s goal throughout the period since February 2 has been to work with the hospital management to ensure they can provide the essential, life-saving trauma care for the people of Lake County and the surrounding area that are required to hold a trauma center designation."The trauma center designation was revoked on Feb.
"There was a situation at the end of December where a woman having a baby waited twice the time she should have waited for an emergency procedure because providers were occupied in other rooms," Banek said.The temporary revocation meant patients with severe illnesses or specific emergency needs had to be transported to other hospitals outside the immediate area, raising concerns about potential delays in reaching distant hospitals.
