May Facilitated Meetings
The third Facilitated HMCC meetings occurred during the month of May (with one date in June due to an emergency re‐scheduling of one of the region’s meetings) and representatives addressed three questions:
- Review and discuss pros and cons of possible governance models for the HMCC
- Brainstorm desirable attributes and capacities for an HMCC regional coordinating agency
- Provide an opportunity for representatives to identify implementation questions.

March Facilitated Meetings
During the second round of the facilitated regional Health and Medical Coordinating Coalition meetings, the multidisciplinary representatives reviewed summary information on eight existing healthcare coalition models across the country, and made observations and generated questions about each model. The observations and questions will be used to gather additional information on the models for representatives and will also inform MDPH Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management planning for HMCCs in MA. Each Region also identified the kinds of organizations within their region that the five core disciplines will want to partner with when the regional HMCC is operational.

January Facilitated Meetings
The first round of facilitated regional meetings with representatives from the five core disciplines (Community health centers/large ambulatory care practices, EMS, hospitals, local public health, and long-term care) took place in Regions 1, 3, 4AB, and 5 in January. The overall purpose of the facilitated meetings is to gather and share information across disciplines that will support future planning of an HMCC in each region. In the round one meetings, representatives in each discipline tackled the key question, “What are the resources/capacities in the region that can be adapted and/or inform regional HMCC planning?” To that end, representatives from each discipline shared information about their discipline-specific health and medical assets, such as mutual aid agreements and equipment, that exist in the region, as well as the activities supported by MDPH (in each discipline) that are priorities for continuation under HMCC funding.
