Following a trauma hospitalization, the road to recovery can be filled with uncertainty, anxiety and frustration. The main goal of our Trauma Patient Support Program is to help you connect with others and rebuild your life following an injury. UofL Hospital and the American Trauma Society provide the programs and recovery resources that patients, families and communities need to manage, heal and improve their lives. This partnership is committed to supporting patient wellness by providing important resources, fostering new relationships and promoting resiliency.

Trauma Survivors Network
UofL Hospital has partnered with the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) to further expand support to our trauma patients. The TSN is a community of patients and families like you who are looking to connect with one another and rebuild their lives after a traumatic injury. Joining this community can help build support and provide resources.
Trauma Patient Recovery Assessment
The recovery assessment is designed for patients who are recovering from a traumatic injury. The questions are meant to help understand your strengths and resources, as well as to help you identify potential problems or challenges you may face in your recovery. Printable results are available after taking the assessment and can be reviewed on this page as well as on your dashboard. If you’d like to take the assessment click here.

Unsure how to get to your Trauma Clinic appointment? Check out our location below.
When you arrive for your Trauma Clinic appointment please feel free to park in the UofL Hospital parking garage located on South Jackson St. next to the Jackson Street Outpatient Center across from the main hospital. If you are utilizing your GPS you may type in 550 S. Jackson St. and it is the garage immediately following on the left. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer parking validation at this time so there is a small fee to park in the garage. Enter the Jackson Street Outpatient Center and take the elevator to the second floor. When you get off the elevator take a right and then an immediate left. The Trauma Clinic check-in window will be just down the hall.
