Region 5 HMCC
Region 5 HMCC
The Health and Medical Coordinating Coalition (HMCC) is guided by six core disciplines that engage in health and medical preparedness and response: Community Health Centers, EMS, Hospitals, Long Term Care, Emergency Management, and Public Health.
Many of these disciplines work across county lines to coordinate information sharing across the five counties of Region 5.
The core disciplines play a primary role in emergency preparedness and response in Region 5 due to their pre-existing relationships with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM). In the growth of the HMCC, other health and medical partners, such as dialysis centers, ambulatory care centers, behavioral health centers, home health care, hospice,etc. are also invited to participate as stakeholders in the HMCC.
