To be certified as Level II, CentraCare - St. Cloud Hospital had to meet several criteria, including:
- Being the lead trauma facility in the service area, with outreach programs that incorporate smaller hospitals
- Having an emergency room that is staffed 24/7
- Having trauma surgeons available within 15 minutes of patient arrival
