The Northwest Healthcare Response Network (NWHRN) has a unique and vital role in disaster planning, response and recovery: We lead and coordinate a coalition of independent healthcare organizations, public health leaders and emergency response partners to ensure Western Washington communities can get needed healthcare services during emergencies and disasters. This is the heart of our mission during any kind of crisis. Our goal is that every patient gets the care they need when disasters strike.

We are a local and national leader on multi-hazard healthcare preparedness and response and multi-sector engagement. Our expertise centers on developing the relationships, plans and capabilities that are at the core of a coordinated emergency response. Our approach to disaster planning and response relies on both art and science. We leverage expertise, collaboration, partnerships, innovation and accountability to identify novel approaches to multi-sector challenges and implement solutions.

Initially launch as a program at Public Health-Seattle & King County in 2005, today the Northwest Healthcare Response Network is a nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization in Washington state.
