The defining feature of a trauma system is that it transfers responsibility for patients - regardless of where, when or who they are - from those without the resource or expertise to help them, to those who do.

BREAKING: We've introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and the irresponsible SCOTUS decisions that came before it. Unrestricted dark money has no place in our elections or democracy. We need to return power to people. Once and for all.

1/ You: “Is Atlanta home for you?” I finished tying the back of your gown and stepped around to face you. Me: “Sir?” You: “Is here your home town?” Me: “No, sir.” *shaking head* You: “Hmmm. But Georgia, right?” I laughed and shook my head again. You furrowed your brow.

Thank you to all our colleagues, partners, and community leaders for coming to our press event on Monday to insist that the Republican leadership give our Democratic slate of gun safety bills a fair hearing in committee. "Inaction is a policy choice, but not one that we accept."
