The verification process of the ACS includes a highly structured and extremely stringent review of all aspects of trauma care, including services and programs provided by the Emergency Department, Surgical Services, Diagnostic Imaging, Rehabilitation, Injury Prevention and Outreach Education.

“For patients, their families and the communities we serve, ACS verification confirms that TriStar StoneCrest has demonstrated a commitment to delivering high-quality trauma care by national standards,” said Willie Melvin, III, MD, Medical Director of Trauma Services.  “We are extremely proud of the life-saving work our TriStar StoneCrest team provides.”
