When an emergency happens within a community or region, its impact depends largely on the healthcare and emergency systems’ ability to respond.
All healthcare organizations, from the largest hospital to a small community health center, need to work together in a coordinated fashion to effectively respond to the disaster and work towards recovery. Planning together saves lives.
Indiana District 3 Healthcare Coalition is a connected community of individuals and organizations in healthcare and emergency preparedness and response that are able to network, share information, plan for significant events and access training opportunities.
Should My Organization Join?
All healthcare organizations in District 3 are invited and encouraged to join the coalition. Members attend regular meetings, participate in planning and agree to work with and support other members during disaster response and recovery. The full coalition meets six (6) times each year. Different provider types often form subgroups and may meet more frequently.
By collaborating district-wide on an emergency response plan, all members of the coalition are strengthened and better prepared. Your organization will learn from the experience of others and may be able to meet certain requirements related to emergency plans and exercises.
District 3 covers the following counties in Northeastern Indiana:
Adams • Allen • DeKalb • Huntington • LaGrange • Miami • Noble • Steuben • Wabash • Wells • Whitley
