Serves a real regional catchment beyond Longmont itself

A Level 3 trauma designation, not the highest-acuity Level I care found elsewhere in this dataset
UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital's emergency department carries a Level 3 trauma-center designation -- real, 24-hour emergency care, but a lower acuity tier than the Level I trauma centers documented for some other cities in this dataset (e.g. Marietta, GA's WellStar Kennestone). Patients needing the highest level of trauma or specialized care may still need to travel to a larger regional facility; this research pass did not identify a Level I trauma center located directly in Longmont.
