Hospitals
Supporting Hospital Preparedness Across the Tampa Bay Region.
Hospitals complement and amplify the effectiveness of many other parts of the health system, providing continuous availability of services for acute and complex conditions. They are reservoirs of critical resources and knowledge.
Hospitals Are Critical to Regional Preparedness
Hospitals play a critical role in maintaining healthcare services during emergencies, disasters, and other events that can disrupt normal operations. As essential components of the healthcare system, hospitals must be prepared to manage changing patient needs, maintain critical services, coordinate resources, and work alongside healthcare and emergency response partners.
