Joining the Healthcare Coalition

The Coalition is an inclusive body that is open to all organizations that provide health services in King County. Coalition members agree to:

• Share information that is relevant for emergency planning and response, including information about available capacity and resources
• Participate in coordinating and sharing resources through the Regional Medical Resource Center or other mechanisms
• Participate in Coalition preparedness activities, including training and drills
• Maintain current emergency preparedness plans and designate a person who is responsible for emergency preparedness and response.

There are two categories of participation in the Coalition: Members and Partners.

Members are non-governmental organizations who provide direct health services in King County. Member organizations may vote in Coalition meetings and may select voting representatives to the Coalition’s governing body – the Executive Council.

Partners are governmental health agencies and health-related organizations, such as professional or trade associations and health resource agencies. Partners are non-voting members who may participate in Coalition meetings and serve on Coalition committees and work groups.
