Authorizes the department of health to designate a level one or level two trauma center in Far Rockaway, county of Queens

This bill authorizes New York's Department of Health to designate a level one or level two trauma center in Far Rockaway, Queens, if the facility meets health department standards. It specifically allows the center to operate without requiring a hospital component and exempts it from conflicting requirements of the American College of Surgeons. The designation would establish a new trauma care option in the Far Rockaway community. The bill takes immediate effect upon passage.
