The SouthEast
Texas Regional Advisory Council
The SouthEast Texas
Regional Advisory Council (SETRAC) was organized
under the authority of the Texas Department of
Health which was instructed by the 1989 Omnibus
Rural Health Care Rescue Act.
SETRAC is one of 22 regional advisory
councils (RAC) currently functioning within the
State of Texas.
SETRAC is a 501(C3) non-profit,
tax-exempt organization.
The primary function of the
SouthEast Texas Regional Advisory Council is to
provide stakeholder support through planning,
facilitation, operations and the provision of
technical assistance to the healthcare community
for preparedness, trauma, stroke, cardiac care
and pediatrics’ services.
SETRAC is the administrator of federal
and state grant money for its stakeholders.
SETRAC prepares our nine county regions for
manmade or natural emergencies, disasters and
mass casualty events. Trauma, stroke, cardiac
and pediatric service lines focus on
establishing protocols and standards of care to
deliver our community the appropriate care
through the appropriate facilities with the
appropriate care givers.
