Healthcare Alliance

Clark County Public Health receives Hospital Preparedness Program funding from the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to administer a health care response and preparedness organization in Southwest Washington called the Healthcare Alliance. The Healthcare Alliance serves members in south Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania and Klickitat counties, and the Cowlitz Indian Tribe.

The Healthcare Alliance plays an important role in the region by promoting emergency preparedness and response collaboration, working together as a region to improve the ability of our communities to respond to and recover from disasters and protect the health of our citizens in times of crisis.
