West Central Ohio Healthcare Preparedness Coalition
Health care and emergency service providers in West Central Ohio (WCO) must be prepared to respond swiftly to public health emergencies or other events that impact the health care delivery system in our region.
To accomplish this mission, health care organizations and emergency service providers across the care continuum, have formed the West Central Ohio Healthcare Preparedness Coalition to support one another during times of need or emergency. The HCC is a collective team that supports planning, preparedness, and response efforts in coordination with emergency management and other Emergency Support Function (ESF) 8 (health and medical) partners.
