History & Mission
Mission Statement
Established in 2010, the Northern Ohio Trauma System (NOTS) was created to serve the citizens of Northern Ohio by advancing the care of patients who suffer traumatic injuries.
Over the past five years, NOTS has developed ten active working committees that have grown into highly collaborative and effective teams. Through the dedication of our committee members, we have:
- Implemented evidence-based protocols
- Developed quality improvement action plans
- Established regional guidelines
- Expanded trauma education
- Strengthened collaboration across the trauma system
These collective efforts have significantly contributed to improved trauma care and better patient outcomes throughout the region.
As we move forward, our mission remains clear: to continue strengthening trauma care and positively impacting the lives of those we serve. We invite you to join us in working together to reduce morbidity and mortality while improving outcomes for trauma patients across Northern Ohio.
