Health Care Coalition funding is at risk! We need your help. Since 2002, our staff have led the Northeast Healthcare Preparedness Coalition, bringing together healthcare facilities and response partners across seven counties and three tribal nations in Northeast Minnesota. When we plan together, train together, and respond together, we build a stronger, more resilient healthcare system. Now, the federal grant that funds our Coalition, and all eight Coalitions across Minnesota, is in jeopardy. More Info »
