About the kansas metro healthcare coalition
The Kansas City Metro Healthcare Coalition includes Johnson, Leavenworth, and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas. We are a collaborative network of healthcare organizations, and their respective public and private sector response partners, that serve as a multi-agency coordinating group to enhance healthcare system preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities.
In other words, Healthcare Coalitions are healthcare system partners that come together to plan strategies for responding to local events. Healthcare Coalitions train and exercise together to maximize local capabilities related to disaster planning, response, recovery and mitigation.
The development and sustainment of the Kansas Metro Healthcare Coalition is a federal initiative and a requirement of the Healthcare Preparedness Program (HPP) Cooperative Agreement funded by the Health & Human Services (HHS), Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
The purpose of Healthcare Coalitions is to ensure local healthcare partners plan collaboratively for the risks facing their community and identify available local resources.
Kansas Metro Healthcare Coalition encourages the involvement of local, community-based partners. These memberships are crucial for ensuring the coordination of preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. Essential partner members include:
