Expectations of Membership

The St. Louis Regional Healthcare Coalition (HCC) is a voluntary partnership of organizations that provide, support, or enable healthcare services within the St. Louis region. Members work together to strengthen healthcare system preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.

The HCC coordinates activities across Missouri Region C, including Pike, Lincoln, Warren, St. Charles, Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, St. Francois, St. Louis County, and the City of St. Louis, and for planning purposes also includes Madison, St. Clair, and Monroe counties in Illinois Region 4. While the Illinois counties do not share ASPR grant funding with Missouri, they are integral partners in regional planning and response.

Coalition participation supports coordination and communication among healthcare, public health, emergency management, and community partners. During emergencies and incidents, the coalition functions as a Healthcare Multi Agency Coordinating System (HMACS), supporting Emergency Support Function (ESF) 8 - Public Health and Medical Services through information sharing, situational awareness, and resource coordination.

By participating, organizations agree to support healthcare emergency management activities, engage in coalition meetings and activities as feasible, maintain access to coordination tools such as eICS and EMResource, keep coalition leadership informed of key contact changes, and remain familiar with coalition plans and regional response concepts.

Members are encouraged, as capacity allows, to further support preparedness and response efforts, including but not limited to: mutual aid agreements, planning activities, trainings and exercises, holding leadership roles, and notification when activating an Emergency Operations Center or during incidents impacting healthcare operations.

Membership is renewed annually. Organizations may withdraw at any time by notifying the Healthcare Coalition Readiness and Response Coordinator. Organizations that consistently do not meet participation expectations may be designated as inactive members.

Please reach out to the HCC Readiness and Response Coordinator at rhcc@stlstarrs.org with any questions.
