Message from the TATRC Director

“I hope this message finds each of you, and your loved ones, safe and healthy. We are at war with an invisible foe that is about to cause more death of our fellow citizens than the past nearly 20 years of conflict, more than Vietnam, and the Korean War. The world is uniting in ways never before seen to combat this common enemy, becoming one team - all working together to achieve a common vision. We at TATRC are here to serve through telemedicine research and through the fusing of data, humans, and machines into solutions that optimize warfighter performance and casualty care.”
– COL Jeremy Pamplin, MD
