Dear Chairwoman Granger, Ranking Member DeLauro, and Chairman Aderholt:
The undersigned organizations respectfully request that the Subcommittee include $11.5 million in funding for the Military and Civilian Partnership for the Trauma Readiness Grant program in the FY24 Labor, HHS, Education Appropriations bill. As you know, this program was established by the Military Injury Surgical Systems Integrated Operationally Nationwide to Achieve ZERO Preventable Deaths Act or “MISSION ZERO Act”, which was authorized by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019. These grants provide funding to ensure trauma care readiness by integrating military trauma care providers into civilian trauma centers. We greatly appreciate the $4 million in funding provided in FY23 and urge Congress to fully fund this critical program to improve the nation’s response to public health and medical emergencies.
