2022 Trauma Symposium

On behalf of Lake Charles Memorial Health System and the Level III Trauma Center, we are honored to invite you to our first annual Trauma Symposium. The event is scheduled for November 2, 2022 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The Trauma Symposium is a full-day program with an audience of about 100 nurses, physicians, EMS providers, and other allied healthcare professionals responsible for the provision of trauma care. Our goal is to present compelling educational information and encourage ongoing work to mature the trauma system of care while focusing on achieving the best outcomes and navigating obstacles. We are open to learning about any topic you feel passionate about, but specific areas of interest to us are Pediatric Trauma, OB Trauma, Mass Casualty Events, and any newer evidence-based practices/protocols.

Your registration fee will cover event expenses and support our Trauma program through the Foundation at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital.
