The AANS and the CNS, alongside the broader Trauma Coalition representing a wide range of health professionals and trauma care organizations, urged congressional leaders to swiftly reauthorize the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA). This critical legislation enhances the nation’s ability to respond effectively to both natural and man-made disasters and public health emergencies, bolstering national security and supporting frontline providers. The letter emphasized PAHPA’s pivotal role in ensuring trauma systems are prepared for emergencies, warning that failure to reauthorize it before its expiration on March 14, will compromise essential programs and public health readiness.
