Metrolina Healthcare Preparedness Coalition

The mission of the Mountain Area Healthcare Preparedness Coalition (MAHPC) is to facilitate coordination and cooperation throughout the MAHPC region to ensure partners have the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergent health and medical events.

The Mountain Area HPC facilitates a regional healthcare preparedness program that enables Local, Regional, and State partners to collectively improve response to and recovery from major emergencies.

The MAHPC SMAT and MRC is a multidisciplinary volunteer team of medical and non-medical professionals established to provide medical support for short and long term disasters or catastrophic events. Roles in which the MAHPC SMAT/MRC can provide support include set up and provision of a mobile field treatment facility, regional and state logistics support, and community alternate care site support.

The MAHPC SMAT/MRC is based in Flat Rock, North Carolina and is coordinated by the Mountain Area Healthcare Preparedness Coalition. Funding for the MAHPC SMAT is provided through a federal grant from the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response’s Healthcare Preparedness Program.

The Mountain Area Healthcare Preparedness Coalition is proud to have an active and collaborative partnership with Mission Health Emergency Services.
