AYSPS hosts Forum on "Trauma Services in Georgia: Where Are We Now? Where Should We Go?"
On June 3, the Andrew Young School, together with the Public Performance & Management Group (PPM) hosted the first of a series of three forums on trauma care in Georgia.
The audience included policy makers as well as practitioners from the public and private sectors. This first forum gave an overview of the issues related to providing trauma services from both the state and national perspectives.
The forum was opened by remarks and a welcome from James Alm, Dean. Speakers included Arthur Kellerman, MD, a nationally recognized trauma expert from the Emory School of Medicine; Patrick O'Neal, director of the state's Office of Preparedness; Ben Hinson, a member of the Trauma Services Network Commission and president of Mid Georgia Ambulance; and Tom Bell, CEO of Cousins Properties. After their presentations, the speakers participated in a panel discussion moderated by Karen Minyard, Director of the Health Policy Center.
