Mission & Purpose
The CBRAC Acute Care Committee is devoted to developing and enhancing protocols for the patients suffering from Stroke/STEMI or other acute disease processes by following evidence-based practices, community education, and tracking relevant data. This is accomplished by a collective effort between CBRAC members, regional Acute Hospital Systems, and our front- line EMS providers. We hope to ultimately improve outcomes in the communities we serve.
Objectives
- Increase EMS capacity of EKG transmissions.
- Increase community awareness of early recognition of signs and symptoms of heart attack and treatment of cardiac arrest/CPR.
- Resourcefully collaborate and allocate CBRAC funding and grants dedicated to STROKE/CARDIOVASCULAR disease.
- Continue to work the mission of CBRAC Acute Care by promoting symbiotic relationships with all stakeholders for the greater good of the populations we serve.
