Regional Trauma Coordinators

The State of Michigan has eight trauma regions and a dedicated Regional Trauma Coordinator for each region. These regional coordinators will be the point of contact for each Regional Trauma Network. They will work with the hospitals and EMS providers in each region to help coordinate work plans around pre-hospital triage criteria, trauma diversion policies, trauma bypass protocols, regional trauma treatment guidelines, regional quality improvement plans, medical oversight, trauma education, injury prevention, access to the system, and communication. The Regional Trauma Coordinator will serve as the MDCH representative on all regional committees. For information about how to contact your Regional Trauma Coordinator, click HERE.
