Some days have a special treat. Teaching #RTTDC in Marshalltown, where it all started in 1997. Mary Foley, 30+ year nurse at the hospital and wife of Dr. Tom Foley (the one who started it all), gave the introduction. Humbled to be there.

Hello from the top of the world! Teaching #ruraltrauma in Utqiagvik, Alaska… the Arctic Ocean in the background. #rttdc The ACS Committee on Trauma

Thank you @GCMHosp for hosting #RTTDC today and having our team out! Great example of how critical access hospitals in Iowa should care for trauma patients. CAP leading the education today! #Region7Rocks

Strengthening our rural trauma system by providing a Rural Trauma Team Development Course at @HabershamMed. A lot of great conversation about trauma care and continued improvement as a system getting patients to definitive care. #Region2Trauma #Georgia #Trauma #RTTDC

Thank you Virginia Gay hospital for hosting #RTTDC with Rick Sidwell & Brian Feist! 98/120 hospitals in #Iowa are critical access & >30% of trauma patients in 2020 were first seen in facilities like this. Definitive care only works if early life saving interventions are done properly

Early morning road trip with Brian Feist for one of my faves .. #RTTDC with the great team in Cherokee. Along the way another fave .. got to visit the Ida County & Cherokee County #FreedomRock Ray [Bubba] Sorensen

Dr. Tom Foley was a HUGE mentor & hero for me. He introduced me to #TraumaSystem development through his work forming the Iowa Trauma System. He started the fire for #RuralTrauma by writing the first #RTTDC. The pics are from the last time that I was with Tom, 10/2013. #humbled

Thank you to all of our first responders not only in the metro but around the state of Iowa for the excellent care you provide. Better patient outcomes start with you. #nationalfirstresponderday #RTTDC #EMS

Shout out Education/Outreach Coordinator Brian Feist. In spite of the challenges, he led us around the state - literally river-to-river - to teach 11 #RTTDC, all in person, in 2021. #Region7Rocks #Commitment The ACS Committee on Trauma
