ABOUT US
Northeast Ohio Healthcare Coalition
Region II
Covering: Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula Counties.
The Center for Health Affairs regional emergency preparedness work began in 2002 when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched its Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP).
The HPP is administered by the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), is delivered through the Ohio Department of Health, and is the only federal source of hospital preparedness funding for regional health system preparedness.
Under the HPP, the NEO HCC coordinates annual grant deliverables with 25 hospitals, local communities, and other organizations, including emergency medical services, county emergency management agencies, public health, private sector partners, and non-government organizations.
The HCC works to enhance communication within our region, neighboring regions, and the State of Ohio to develop and implement best practices to mitigate emergencies that could adversely affect the NEO healthcare delivery system.
The Coalition is a multi-disciplinary team that strives to enhance and support coordination and collaboration, improve communication and information, and resource sharing between all disciplines in the NEO region. The work of the NEO HCC is done through networking, planning, drills, and exercises.
