ABOUT US

In the early 2000s, Public Health began facilitating regular meetings for hospitals within the Northeast and Sullivan regions of Tennessee. These meetings were a time to discuss local emergency plans.

As a result of the Coalition formalizing its partnership in 2014, it expanded its membership to include additional healthcare agencies throughout the region. Consequently, the Coalition was officially renamed the Northeast Tennessee Healthcare Preparedness Coalition (NET HCC.)

The Coalition is sponsored by a grant from the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to fund emergency preparedness projects and activities.

ASPR leads the nation’s medical and public health preparedness for, response to, and recovery from disasters and other public health emergencies.

To support the healthcare community in Northeast, TN in response, recovery, mitigation, and preparedness for disaster situations through collaboration, resource sharing, and education.
