BEAVERCREEK — The only trauma center in Greene County is set to close this weekend.
The Soin Medical Center emergency department will no longer operate as a Level III trauma center effective April 13, according to a spokesperson for Kettering Health.
The spokesperson said that the emergency department will continue to operate and that the health network will help its patients get to a Level I or Level II trauma “in a streamlined way.”
