A designation list is not live destination status

Use current OCEMS trauma-triage, base-contact, and destination direction; this page does not show real-time diversion or specialty-bed availability.
Rady Children's Hospital Orange County is the pediatric trauma center on the current OCEMS specialty-services list.
Long Beach Memorial Medical Center is included under a Los Angeles County EMS designation.

Current trauma receiving centers

Five hospitals appear on OCEMS Policy 240.10, effective January 1, 2026.
Facility names below follow the official OCEMS list; the notes distinguish the pediatric-only and out-of-county entries.

Trauma receiving center	City	Designation note
Rady Children's Hospital Orange County	Orange	Pediatric trauma only
Orange County Global Medical Center	Santa Ana	Orange County trauma center
Mission Hospital - Mission Viejo	Mission Viejo	Orange County trauma center
UCI Health - Orange	Orange	Orange County trauma center
Long Beach Memorial Medical Center	Long Beach	Los Angeles County EMS designation

Apply the current OCEMS trauma-triage criteria and algorithm; do not choose a trauma center from mechanism or facility name alone.
Obtain required base-hospital contact and destination direction under the applicable standing order and policy.
Confirm current system notices and receiving status. The designation list establishes which facilities are trauma centers, not whether a center can accept a particular patient at that moment.
For pediatric patients, distinguish a pediatric trauma destination from a general comprehensive children's or pediatric intensive-care destination.

OCEMS Policy 310.30 contains the trauma-triage policy; Policy 310.31 is the companion field algorithm.
The pediatric receiving-center page separates comprehensive children's, PICU, and pediatric trauma designations.
