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 »

Our Success

Evidence of the success of the regional model for this work is demonstrated through many notable accomplishments, including:

Supporting the required certification and recertification training for EMS personnel to reduce the cost barrier of recruitment and retention
Funding projects for local EMS agencies to purchase patient care, communications and tactical equipment that broaden the capabilities of care providers
Supporting the EMSMACC effort to provide effective coordination of EMS and serve as an interface with hospitals to ensure definitive care resources are maximized
Providing subject matter expertise in planning work groups to enhance the delivery of care during disasters, incidents and events of public significance (Examples include: Ebola Planning, Crisis Standards of Care, Burn Surge, EMS Education)
Providing subject matter expertise for response drills reducing the planning costs incurred by local agencies
Acting as a central hub for special training initiatives to enhance public safety activities such as Stroke/STEMI, Narcan (Naloxone) and LUCAS Device rollouts
