Ransom Memorial Hospital has started the process of upgrading its emergency room to a category four trauma center. Hospital Chief Financial Officer Dean Ohmart says the designation means that some patients with low-level trauma injuries could be treated in Ottawa instead of traveling out of the area for care. He hopes to have the designation in place by later this year. Ransom Memorial will be the third hospital in the state to be named a category four trauma center.
