What is a healthcare coalition?
Health Care Coalitions are a network of individual healthcare and responder organizations that have come together to coordinate and prepare for emergencies and disaster events. Membership is based by region and can include hospitals, emergency medical services (EMS), emergency management, public health, behavioral health, and ancillary healthcare providers. The strength of HCCs is that they reflect the unique needs and characteristics of each local jurisdiction. -CDPHE
