| WHAT: | Press conference celebrating the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Delaware Trauma System. When someone is injured, seconds matter and faster response times save lives. The event will celebrate the first responders, 9-1-1 systems, ambulance personnel, paramedics, fire and police responders, helicopter medics for air transport, and the trauma care teams in hospital emergency rooms and intensive care units. There will be a moment of silence for those men and women lost in the line of duty. |
| WHY: | Since 1996, the Delaware Statewide Trauma System has saved 1,319 lives over the system's 2000 baseline and provided care for 101,000 seriously injured people of all ages. Delaware has one of the nation's few inclusive statewide trauma systems where every acute care hospital participates. No matter where people are injured in Delaware, they enter the same system of care. The Delaware General Assembly via legislation created the Delaware trauma system in July 1996. |
