Martinez recounted how the trauma center played a crucial role in saving her life back in 2019 when she suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Closing the trauma center would force patients experiencing emergencies such as heart attacks or strokes to travel significantly farther for immediate care.Supervisor Cindy Chavez, representing District 2, emphasized the public safety implications of the closure, especially for communities near the Regional Medical Center. 'All of these patients would have to go to other emergency rooms,' she stated.
