Description

Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Northeast Portland operates one of two Level I trauma centers in the Portland metropolitan area. Such hospitals are required to keep enough blood immediately available to begin emergency transfusions when needed.

A former trauma nurse at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is suing the health system, claiming supervisors retaliated against her for raising concerns that the hospital would run out of blood for critically injured patients.
