Untitled Document Physicians, Help Spread the Word on

This window sign is just one way you
can help us get the word out on Prop 67!
 

California's emergency and trauma system is overwhelmed, under-funded and lacks the resources needed to provide quality lifesaving care that every patient deserves. In the last decade over 60 hospital emergency rooms and trauma centers have closed. Experts predict that many more will follow. Fewer hospitals and emergency rooms mean longer ambulance rides for victims of heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, and other medical emergencies. For many emergency patients, rapid-response treatment is the difference between life and death. Proposition 67—the Emergency Medical Care Initiative—will ensure that emergency medical care is available when you and your family need it most.
