What is a Regional Advisory Council?
Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) are the administrative bodies responsible for trauma system oversight within the bounds of a given Trauma Service Area in Texas. There are currently 22 RACs that are tasked with with developing, implementing and monitoring a regional emergency medical service trauma system plan. Healthcare entities and other concerned citizens with an interest in improving and organizing trauma care comprise the RACs stakeholders.
