Speeding AmbulanceIs North Texas ready when seconds count and critical care is far away?

6.7 million people live in Trauma Service Area E. We share 6 CareFlite helicopters. We have 6 Level I and II hospitals in only two of nineteen counties. We need more Level III and IV hospitals in outlying counties.

Join us for a presentation of research and a panel discussion about the crisis of care facing North Texas as we prepare for unprecedented growth in the coming years. Learn about the trauma services available in North Texas - where they're at, how they're accessed, and what their capacity is.
