about SHERT

The South West Healthcare Emergency Resource Team (SHERT) Coalition includes the following Kansas Counties: Clark, Finney, Ford, Grant, Gray, Greeley, Hamilton, Haskell, Hodgeman, Kearny, Lane, Meade, Morton, Scott, Seward, Stanton, Stevens, and Wichita.

​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 (HCC) 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 SHERT 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 HCCs is to ensure local healthcare partners plan collaboratively for the risks facing their community and identify available local resources.

​SHERT also 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:
  • ​Hospital (H)*
  • Public Health (PH)*
  • Emergency Management (EM)*
  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS)*
  • Religious Non-Medical Healthcare (RNHC)
  • Ambulatory Surgical Center (ACS)
  • Hospice
  • Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)
  • All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

  • Rural Health Clinic (RHC)
  • Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
  • End-Stage Renal Disease (RSRD) Facility​
​*Core Four Agencies.

Membership Responsibilities:
  • Provide representation in a least half of the Coalition meetings per Fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).

In fulfilling member responsibilities, SHERT welcomes and encourages active participation in the areas of innovation, collaboration and leadership.
