NTRAC conducts its General Membership and Executive Board meetings on the first Thursday of every even month. The membership is comprised of a diverse group of physicians, trauma nurses, administrators, EMS providers, and lay persons from every area served. Current committees include Air Medical, Bylaws, Continuous Quality Improvement, Pediatrics, Public Information and Education, Acute Care, Finance, Trauma Nurse Coordinators, Neonatal, Maternal, HPP and PHEMS.
NTRAC recognizes that certain components of the trauma system plan are dynamic and often changing, e.g. dates of education courses…. For this reason NTRAC has chosen to have a web site and a webmaster, Melissa Whitelaw, who updates these portions. All members of NTRAC have been advised to book mark this page at ntrac.org so that the information is readily available for everyone.
NTRAC has also completed their process of 501(c)(3) and as of May, 1999, the NTRAC is a 501(c)(3) organization.
The Lead Facility is United Regional, 11th Street Campus in Wichita Falls, which was granted Level II Trauma Center designation in early 2013. All other member facilities are Level IV designated.
The North Texas Regional Advisory Council, NTRAC, Trauma Plan will undergo a formal review and update on an annual schedule, at a minimum.
