Our health care system provides vital services to our community in the wake of all types of disasters, including large-scale incidents like hurricanes, public health emergencies such as COVID-19, and even smaller, more-localized events that impact the health of those who live here. Ensuring high-quality patient care during disasters and other surge incidents relies largely on coordination and collaboration among health care stakeholders. Health Care Coalitions (HCCs) incentivize diverse and often competitive healthcare organizations with differing priorities to work together to prepare for and respond to events that threaten the public’s health. Serving as both a coordinating entity and response body, HCCs ensure that their members have the necessary medical equipment and supplies, real-time information, communication systems, and trained personnel to respond to emergencies.
