Who We Are

The Arkansas Trauma Communications Center (ATCC) is the central hub for trauma transport coordination in Arkansas. We support EMS at the scene and hospitals requesting inter-facility transfers, matching patients to the most appropriate trauma center using real-time capability and capacity information.

  • 24/7 statewide coverage
  • Staffed by licensed paramedics and registered nurses
  • Integrated with the Arkansas Trauma System

How It Works

  1. EMS or hospital calls ATCC. We collect key clinical details and current location.
  2. Real-time assessment. We review statewide trauma capability/capacity to identify the right destination.
  3. Route & coordinate. We provide a destination recommendation and support the transfer/transport process.
  4. Continuous monitoring. We remain available throughout to assist with updates and contingencies.

For EMS & Hospitals

We work alongside first responders and facilities to reduce delays, improve destination accuracy, and support better outcomes for severely injured patients.
