Findings
About six miles west of the USAF Medical Center is the NorthBay Medical
Center, a verified Level II Trauma Center. The NorthBay Medical Center is
the closest alternative to the USAF Medical Center. Kaiser Permanente
Vacaville Medical Center, another Level II Trauma Center, about ten miles
north of the USAF Medical Center, is also an alternative. The closest Level I
Trauma Center is the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.
The USAF Medical Center provides emergency services to civilians
during emergency situations. Due to the time sensitivity of an
emergency event, a background check may not be performed before
allowing entrance to the Base.
Patients who are entitled to treatment may be denied entry to the
Base if they do not pass a background check.
