A message from our Executive Director
The Northwest Healthcare Response Network was born from the collaboration between health care and public health and a shared vision that we are more effective in our preparedness and response by working together. Esteemed health care and public health leaders around the country know that this partnership is vital to our shared purpose of protecting the health of our communities and caring for patients in any kind of emergency or disaster. We are thrilled to join them through the Common Health Coalition to advance this work with the urgency and importance it warrants. We will continue leading multi-sector, interdisciplinary collaboration, coordination, information-sharing, and innovation to build readiness and resilience while leveraging our voice and expertise to drive the changes needed to prepare our health system for tomorrow’s emergencies.
