Pediatric trauma is treated by specialized team

Pediatric trauma - serious injuries to children age 14 and younger- is treated by a team of specialists at Upstate University Hospital. They offer the highest level of trauma care to the 14-county region of Central New York and are ready to deal with anything from auto accidents to falls down a flight of stairs, explains Kim Wallenstein, MD, PhD. She is a pediatric surgeon at Upstate and the medical director of the Upstate Pediatric Trauma Team.
