Lankenau Medical Center received Level 2 Trauma Center certification, effective Sept. 1, the unit of Main Line Health said Tuesday.

Main Line said last year that the trauma center would fill a gap in such high-level emergency services in southern Montgomery County and northern Delaware County. The center is Main Line's second. It opened a Level 2 trauma center at Paoli Hospital in 2010.

The new Lankenau center will compete, in particular with Penn Presbyterian's Level 1 trauma center, in University City, which is closest to Lankenau.
