The Region A Healthcare Coalition is bringing together healthcare organizations to support the local healthcare community and other response agencies to jointly plan for and respond to man-made or natural emergencies.
In the past, counties and organizations have planned individually and collaboratively in small groups to boost disaster readiness, building strong support networks within counties. These plans alone may be insufficient to meet healthcare demands during and post-disaster. A regional strategy is vital for healthcare continuity, leading to the creation of the North Georgia Healthcare Coalition to address gaps and enhance preparedness.
When disaster hits a community or a region, the entire health care system will have to respond. Healthcare organizations planning together will create a more prepared and resilient healthcare system. Planning together saves lives!
