For over 30 years, the Panamerican Trauma Society has provided leadership in the care of the injured and critically ill in all of the Americas. The Covid-19 pandemic has quickly become one of the most important and frightening healthcare challenges in any of our lifetimes. No one person or one group has all the answers. We are all creating these answers as we attempt to create solutions for systems as well as individual patients. 
In the past few years, we have seen our society grow in all aspects: academic, social, membership, scholarship, research, relations and international interactions with other major societies and organizations in the Americas and worldwide. We have forged important alliances with prestigious organizations including the WHO Global alliance for the care of the injured, and have and will continue to reach out to any society and organization that hold the values of our society. These values include: gratitude and respect to what we have been given by our founders, and the relentless pursuit to improve the care of those who have been entrusted to us, relying not only on the most evidence-based practices, but most notably on profound and unmeasurable experiences.
