When first responders become overwhelmed entities call the @TXEMTF8 to assist, and that was the case with the Hill Country floods. It is a massive undertaking requiring agencies from the entire state of Texas, and other countries, coming together as one.

We had a great time attending the @STRAC National Whole Blood Summit!
It was a valuable opportunity to connect with experts and explore key issues in whole blood and prehospital transfusion. We’re excited to help the blood community apply these insights to improve patient care.

Pre-hospital whole blood could save up to 10,000 lives in the U.S. each year.
19 of our 22 counties have whole blood within our region, but 214 TX counties still lack access. For us, this isn’t just a program - it’s a mission.
