Grand County signs letters supporting Colorado Whole Blood Coalition pilot
Summary
County staff presented three letters of support for Dr. Scott Braney and the Colorado Whole Blood Coalition's funding requests to congressional offices; the board approved signing letters to Bennett, Hickenlooper's office and Representative Neguse's office.
County EMS staff asked the commissioners to sign three letters supporting continuation of the Colorado Whole Blood Coalition pilot and related federal funding requests.
Sean or Wingate EMS staff said Dr. Scott Braney and the coalition "have been instrumental to our county, our department, in our whole blood pilot program," and requested letters to multiple congressional offices. A commissioner moved to approve the letters, and the board voted 'Aye' to authorize the chair to sign them.
Staff framed the letters as support for CDS/CPF funding applications to congressional delegations; no funding was committed by the county in the packet at this time.
