Trauma Programs

The ACS COT is launching a national campaign—Where Seconds Matter—to build stronger relationships with members of Congress through visits to our local trauma centers during the August recess. We will showcase the critical role trauma centers play, share our challenges, and advocate for policies that strengthen trauma care for all. Work with your COT State Chair to showcase your trauma center.

The goal of Regional Medical Operations Coordinating Centers (RMOCCs) is to save as many lives as possible during mass casualty events by integrating local and regional emergency management, public health, and trauma services.
