Who We Serve

Healthcare coalitions are nationally recognized organizations whose collective, primary mission is to support healthcare organizations during emergency response and recovery. An element of this mission is promoting integration of Coalition member organizations into the broader community response. Healthcare coalitions are designed to include the full range of healthcare facilities that provide “point of service” medical care and other medically related services during a disaster or mass casualty incident. 

Membership to the TNHRHCC is open to all healthcare organizations, response agencies, state partners, and other community partners, as approved by the TNHRHCC membership.  These organizations must be located within TNHRHCC’s geographical area and agree to work collaboratively on emergency preparedness, response, and recovery activities as it applies to healthcare.
