Dr. Ahmed-
	Although the two are run by two separate groups, there is much
overlap in terms of membership/privileges for these two level 1 trauma
centers; Oregon Health Sciences University and Legacy Emanuel Hospital, both
located in Portland, OR and both trauma systems run by outstanding
physicians.  www.ohsu.edu/trauma/ and
http://www.legacyhealth.org/body.cfm?id=54 may help you in your pursuit.
Best,
Shane

Need advice,
Does any one know if there are two verified trauma centers that are
geographically very close(about a mile apart)and are run by the same
trauma system(i.e. share trauma director, surgeons etc)and is it
possible to increase efficiency by concentrating some high-end tertiary
services in one center or the other (example- Pelvic fx, advanced neuro
trauma and spine in one and repair of thoracic aorta in other),both have
deticated trauma ICU and patient transferred from one center to another
still is under care of the same trauma surgeon, both have ER coverage
from different trauma team(different trauma surgeon and specilists)
