AGENDA ITEM WORDING: The Monroe County Commission is committed to
providing a safe and efficient method of transportation and acceptance of trauma patients
throughout Monroe County to the regional trauma hospital, Jackson Memorial Ryder
Trauma Center.
ITEM BACKGROUND: At the Feb. 21, 2001 BOCC meeting in Key Largo, it was
implied that the Upper Keys Trauma District had an advantage over the Middle and
Lower Keys trauma patients as to transport and acceptance at the regional trauma
hospital. As it is the desire of the BOCC to provide equal care to all of its citizens and
visitors, the BOCC requests an in-depth explanation of the standard operating procedures
of the Monroe County Fire and EMS service in the Middle and Lower Keys.
