It is the critical trauma and tertiary care center for a region with 2.8 million persons. AMC is not part of a large private or public university – one of only four such academic medical centers nationwide. Because it is not affiliated with a major university system, it has limited access to dollars and financial capital. The Center is critically dependent on patient care revenues to sustain itself.
