In the inaugural episode of The CATRAC Podcast, host Mike Verkest sits down with Douglas Havron, Executive Director and CEO of the Capital Area of Texas Regional Advisory Council, to answer a foundational question: what exactly is a RAC, and why does it matter?
Douglas breaks down how CATRAC supports emergency healthcare across 11 Central Texas counties by coordinating hospitals, EMS agencies, first responders, public health, emergency management, and disaster response partners. From trauma systems and stroke care to hospital diversion, wall times, data sharing, and regional preparedness, this episode pulls back the curtain on the systems that help clinicians deliver better care when seconds matter.
This launch episode sets the stage for future conversations about regional coordination, patient outcomes, emergency healthcare systems, and the people working behind the scenes to move care forward.
