Our Mission

To develop, foster, and support excellence in trauma care and the emergency medical system within Colorado’s San Luis Valley.

The San Luis Valley Regional Emergency Medical and Trauma Advisory Council (RETAC) consists of 12 board members appointed by county commissioners across the region’s six counties. This governing body brings together representatives from ten EMS agencies, three hospitals, and allied stakeholder partners.
