At a recent meeting of the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS, representatives of several Federal agencies approved a letter to the White House requesting a meeting to discuss issues raised by a recent landmark report on the nation’s trauma system.

“A national trauma system, that integrates military and civilian capabilities, is a crucial part of our Nation’s infrastructure and is vital to preserve the health and productivity of the American people,” states the letter, which is addressed to Thomas Bossert, the president’s homeland security advisor.
