About the Task Force

The Far Rockaway Trauma Healthcare Access Task Force was established to enhance trauma healthcare in the Rockaway community, which lacks a local trauma care center. Led by NYC Council Member Selvena N. Brooks-Powers and NYC Health and Hospitals President Dr. Mitchell Katz, the Task Force brings together community leaders monthly to improve reliable and accessible trauma care for Rockaway residents.

Statistics

The data demonstrates the unmet needs of the community. From October 2021 - September 2022, we found:


  • There were more than 15,000 EMS calls and more than 14,000 hospital transports that originated in the Rockaway community.


  • More than 700 of these calls were trauma related.


  • EMS ambulance response times average about 6 minutes but the average distance to Jamaica Hospital from the Rockaways is 9.8 miles, and the time to travel to the hospita varies greatly depending on traffic.
