Hello! (dropped the import group on my initial reply. sorry for the double
mail Marc!)

A few comments from my perspective as a US mapper.

A "trauma center" has a very specific meaning in the United States and it
is specifically about treating serious ailment and injury. (Ex:
https://www.ptsf.org/become-a-trauma-center/what-is-a-trauma-center/) The
lowest level trauma center PA certifies (
https://www.ptsf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/PTSF-Adult-Level-IV-Standards-1.pdf)
would handle what OSM considers emergency=yes. Here's the certification
application for Washington state and the first question about services
(page 16
https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/530190.pdf?uid=6453161ed88ce)
is whether there's 24/7 emergency care available.

Addresses in the states very commonly have the "full" nine digit postcode
nnnnn-nnnn (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1uwP) as well as addr:state.
