September 26, 2023- Healthcare Ready announces the re-launch of its website. The new healthcareready.org leverages the organization’s unique position at the intersection of the healthcare industry and governmental agencies as the nonprofit organization facilitates critical public-private partnerships to optimize disaster response.
Healthcare Ready is a DC-based nonprofit dedicated to helping strengthen the U.S. healthcare system and assisting communities in planning for, responding to, and recovering from disasters and disease pandemics.
The new website helps ensure continued access to Healthcare Ready’s signature Rx Open tool — which helps people find access to medicine in an emergency by mapping the location of open and closed pharmacies in a disaster-stricken area. The importance of the resources was highlighted recently when it was included in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) press release about the Biden-Harris Administration’s response to the Maui wildfire disaster.
