ForwardMastering Emergency Management: Basics and Beyond
Access the on-demand webinar series here.
Health centers play a significant role in their communities by providing access to health care for those who need it most. When communities experience emergencies and disasters, providing access to care becomes even more important. Putting an effective emergency management (EM) program in place, which has been required for federally qualified health centers since 2016, can make or break an organization’s ability to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
Join us for “Mastering Emergency Management: Basics and Beyond,” a comprehensive, twelve-part webinar series where you will learn the essential concepts and skills necessary to set up and maintain an effective EM program for your organization. During the series, we will methodically explore required and suggested program components, industry concepts and best practices, as well as challenges and opportunities to make your EM program successful and easy to manage.
