Read about the impact that the organization’s programs and responses had on community health in 2024
Impacts from recent drug shortages combined with other public health emergencies have led to renewed attention on long-standing concerns surrounding the impacts of supply chain disruptions on patient care.
Welcome to Healthcare Ready's groundbreaking initiative – the Restoring the Healthcare Workforce for Equity Program. As a leader of resilience, our program is dedicated to fortifying the healthcare workforce, especially in underserved communities, against the challenges posed by disasters and emergencies.
In times of crisis, access to essential medications can be a matter of survival. Critical pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and supplies — known as medical countermeasures — are vital in preventing, mitigating, or treating adverse health effects during pandemics, natural disasters, bioterrorism events and other emergencies. In my work to contribute to strengthening health system resilience across the U.S., I’ve observed how the distribution of these life-saving resources often falls short of equitable. People who are medically underserved bear the brunt of this inequality, as seen during disasters like Hurricane Katrina, when vulnerable communities struggled to obtain the medical supplies and treatments they desperately needed.

Healthcare Ready is a nonprofit organization that serves as a public-private partnership to avoid patient disruptions amid crisis by forging partnerships between the healthcare supply chain and government.
