WVU Trauma Newsletter

Posted: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 11:28 AM

This is the first in a series of quarterly issues on trauma and acute care surgery in the state of West Virginia.

Through this newsletter, we hope to improve the communications within the trauma network from all corners of the state.

We hope to offer interesting and infor-mative stories to aid in the improve-ment of the care we all provide to the people of this great state.

We invite comment and ideas for sto-ries or content that might be helpful to the community of emergency care providers throughout the state.

Our goal is to speak not just to the emergency room and trauma physi-cians in the state, but also to those on the front lines who are committed to providing care and service to people during the worst times of their lives.

The JMMTC has five full-time trauma and acute care surgery staff, and the Emergency Department has 12 dedi-cated to the mission of caring for the people of this state and region.

We are excited by the potential to reach out to all providers across the state and initiate a forum for learning and exchange of ideas. Together we can continue to improve on the great care already provided.
