SANTA CRUZ — While a massive law enforcement presence converged on the Santa Cruz High School campus last week for what turned out to be aDominican Hospital activated its emergency “surge” protocol Oct. 27 in preparation for a reported multi-victim shooting at Santa Cruz High School, a report later dismissed as a hoax.
Unlike medical centers such as Natividad in Salinas or Santa Clara Valley, Dominican Hospital is not one of the state’s 81 designated “trauma centers,” according to the California Emergency Medical Services Authority. Instead, the hospital often serves as a pass-through to the out-of-county centers, or is bypassed entirely when patients are airlifted from landing zones elsewhere in the county.
Sutter Surgical Center and Watsonville Community Hospital sent word that they, too, stood ready should there be a need for additional care, said Dominican’s disaster coordinator, Paul Angelo, on Monday. Shortly after 9:30 a.m., the hospital emergency department received its first alert from an ambulance crew on its way to the high school that a reported school incident was unfolding, Angelo said, describing how the prior Thursday morning unfolded. Shortly after, Santa Cruz County officials confirmed the response effort, he said.
