The following has just been posted to a NATIONAL news network blog  site.   
Anyone on this list can use this initiative to communicate  with local and 
federal persons.    We are all grateful for the  dedicated trauma team at Cooper 
Hospital in Camden, New Jersey.    Thank you for being there and continue your 
good work.

Cooper Hospital in Camden New Jersey is recognized as one of the best  trauma 
centers in the country.   It has been repeatedly stated that  the very best 
trauma center in the greater Philadelphia area is the one in  Camden New 
Jersey.   The Governor is fortunate that one of the jewels  of the nation's trauma 
and disaster Integrated Collaborative Network was there  for him when he needed 
it.   Ironically, these trauma centers are  struggling for support for their 
infrastructure, surgical critical care  recognition within the trauma center 
network and incorporation into the regional  EOC networks of our disaster 
preparedness and response.   New Jersey  has NOT followed its neighbor to the 
north, Connecticut, in structuring its  medical disaster response on top of an 
existing integrated trauma  system.   Governor, here is a chance to build on 
something good that  is already in place.
