Formerly Washington State Region 7, Region 8 and Region 9 Healthcare Coalitions, the Regional Emergency and Disaster (REDi) Healthcare Coalition (HCC) is the healthcare coalition serving the 19 counties and 4 tribes of eastern Washington.  Their mission is to prepare for, respond to and recover from crisis using all available resources to provide patient care at the appropriate level and in the most efficient manner. In all their work, they strive to build emergency preparedness across the healthcare system to create resilient communities across the region. To fulfill the mission, the Coalition collaborates with hospitals, clinics, long-term care providers, dialysis centers, blood centers, emergency management, EMS, public health, tribal health and all other healthcare CMS provider types to increase regional healthcare system preparedness and response. REDi welcome these partners to collaborate with them as they plan for, train, exercise and respond to emergencies impacting eastern Washington.

The REDi Healthcare Coalition is funded through the Washington State Department of Health under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness & Response Healthcare Preparedness Program grant.
