Services and Clinical Programs
Trauma Care
There are only two adult Level I Trauma Centers in Columbus — and Grant Medical Center is one of them, having maintained verification as a Level I Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons since 1993.[1]
Surgery
Handling more than 20,000 surgery procedures annually, Grant surgeons in a variety of specialties use the Da Vinci® Surgical System for minimally invasive surgery.[1]
Heart and Vascular Care
To reduce time to treatment for patients with heart attack symptoms and increase the effectiveness of care provided, Grant Medical Center uses the innovative STEMI Alert System, sending medical information from the ambulance directly to the physicians at the Emergency Department.
The Vascular and Vein Center at Grant Medical Center specializes in both traditional and minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat peripheral vascular diseases and conditions. Grant vascular surgeons use these and other technologies including minimally invasive procedures for quicker recovery.[1]

Certified by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center, Grant exceeds the national guidelines for stroke intervention, treatment and prevention. The Level 1 Trauma Center treats complex brain injuries and promotes recovery in a dedicated Brain and Spine Intensive Care unit and neurorehabilitation program.
