  1. Candidates for a trauma center, burn center, or other specialty service should be transported to such a facility. None of the local hospitals within the City of Yonkers (or Bronxville) are trauma centers or have burn units requiring transportation out of the city for such services.

    Statistically I doubt the "majority" are transported out of the city; it is just the noteworthy cases going to trauma/burn centers that call attention to the process.

    This is not an Empress practice; it is compliance with NYS EMS protocols.

    Applicable excerpt from NYS Protocol (emphasis added)

    Check the Majority figures........then get back to me.
