Regional Health Care Preparedness Coordinators (RHPCs)

Minnesota has eight established Health Care Coalitions (HCCs), which are led by a Regional Health Care Preparedness Coordinator (RHPC) and an established advisory committee. Although they function and are governed independently, they collaborate inter-regionally across the state for planning and response purposes.
