Trauma Center Revitalization Act

Trauma Center Revitalization Act - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants for the operating expenses of trauma-care centers with substantial uncompensated costs in areas with significant violence arising from drug abuse.

Gives priority to centers: (1) receiving State or political subdivision support not connected to any Federal program; or (2) in areas where a trauma center has ceased participation, or because of uncompensated costs will be unable to participate, in the trauma care system. Limits support for a center to three years, subject to extension by the Secretary for one additional year. Authorizes appropriations.
