Emergency care. Texas hospitals to the rescue.
An average of 17 Texans die every day as a result of accidental injuries. Our ability to respond to trauma in Texas will be a high priority issue in the upcoming Legislative session. In the meantime, metropolitan areas and remote rural locations across Texas have had to come up with ways to handle what is often a trauma crisis. Efforts are also underway to reduce the number of accidents and injuries in the first place. This month, HealthTexas takes a look at these trauma issues.
