The Central Region EMS & Trauma Care Council involves many private and public agencies in the planning and evaluation of emergency medical services in King County.  The Trauma Care Council is composed of representatives from county hospitals, prehospital (emergency medical technician, paramedic, dispatch) agencies, local government and other interested parties.  Members are nominated by the Council and appointed by the Secretary of the Washington State Department of Health.  Meetings are held from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at the Community Center at Mercer View.  Agendas are usually posted one week prior to the meeting date.  Approved minutes are usually available one week after the next meeting date.
