Health Care Coalitions

There are eight Health Care Coalitions (HCCs) in Minnesota. The coalitions are a partnership among healthcare, emergency medical services, emergency management, and public health agencies. Together, these members ensure that emergencies or planned events have minimal impact on health care services throughout the state. In addition to supporting preparedness and response efforts, HCCs strengthen community resilience by coordinating incident response, facilitating information sharing, and addressing resource needs.

For more information on how to connect with your HCC leaders, please reference the Regional Health Care Preparedness Coordinators.
