Healthcare Coalition

About The Coalition

Concerned about the low level of preparedness for bioterrorist attacks on the United States and our healthcare systems, the federal government implemented the National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program, directed federally by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in 2002 after the World Trade Center attack in 2001. The program provided funding to individual s t a t e s to address gaps in hospital preparedness.
