Trauma is the leading cause of death for all people under age 37. it will cause 142.000 deaths this year and cost our Nation $100 billion in care. property damage. insurance and lost wages. As we move forward to encourage States and communities to establish trauma systems. we cannot ignore the fact that many centers have closed. and many more now struggle to stay open. Particularly hard hit are those trauma centers along our Nations southern border. Because of their location they must treat large numbers of Illegal alien/undocumented patients. Over the past few months. I have contacted more than 40 trauma centers throughout California.
