The NTRAC recognizes that certain components of the trauma system plan are dynamic and often changing, e.g. dates of education courses…. For this reason the NTRAC has chosen to have a web site. All members of NTRAC have been advised to book mark this page “ntrac.org” so that the information is readily available for everyone.
The 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.
The North Texas Regional Advisory Council, NTRAC, Trauma Plan will undergo a formal review and update on an annual schedule.
The majority of the service area of NTRAC, TSA-C is Rural. There is a renewed level of cooperation among members with standard goals and commitment toward a true workable system for improved trauma care.
