From Texas Public Radio:
Federal and state governments have important roles when it comes to fighting COVID-19 in the United States, but the rubber really meets the road at the local level.
In a 22 county region that includes San Antonio, that work is done by STRAC — the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council — a network of 35 hospitals and first responders. Eric Epley is STRAC’s Executive Director, and right now he’s running the show at the Regional Health Medical Operations Center — RHMOC.
