The Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP), administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (#ASPR), provides grant funding to states in order to support sustainable community healthcare #coalitions (HCCs), improve medical surge capacity, and enhance community and hospital preparedness in the event of a public health emergency. With the development of ASPR’s Healthcare Preparedness Capabilities: National Guidance for Healthcare System Preparedness, local health departments across the country have now begun to partner with HCCs and healthcare organizations on emergency #preparedness planning, training, and exercises. Most recently, coalitions have played a pivotal role in coordinating with local health departments and healthcare systems during the #Ebola response.
