Ohio State joins joint disaster medicine and public health eccosystem to leverage fast resource allocations

Responding to the nation’s next disaster will require more than a quick reaction and an influx of resources. 

It will require a combination of rapid decision-making, wide-ranging expertise and collaborations yielding new capabilities to strengthen the nation’s ability to readily respond while minimizing undue burdens to the health of the American people. So, The Ohio State University College of Medicine and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have joined a national medical and public health disaster readiness ecosystem through the National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health (NCDMPH), a component of the Uniformed Services University.

NCDMPH recently established the Joint Disaster Medicine and Public Health Ecosystem to prepare the nation for the next disaster or public health emergency. The ecosystem will create effective partnerships between government, academia and industry must to collaborate and contribute when disasters strike.
