Health
Department Receives $4 Million for Preparedness
Posted 15 July
2010
The Iowa Department
of Public Health (IDPH) has been awarded $4,039,814 from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance hospital and
community response to health emergencies. The grant is part of $390.5
million awarded to states, territories and large metropolitan as part
of the HHS Hospital Preparedness Program.
“Communication is critical to successful emergency response,” said IDPH
Center for Disaster Operations and Response (CDOR) Chief Rebecca
Curtiss. “This grant will help improve communication systems, plan for
hospital evacuations or sheltering operations, and enhance tracking of
hospital beds and volunteer health professionals.” In addition, the
funding will be used to strengthen community partnerships through
participation in exercises and drills to test emergency plans.
The funds will be administered by IDPH and allocated to 118 Iowa
hospitals, the State Hygienic Laboratory at the University of Iowa and
the Iowa Poison Control Center.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response has provided the
funds through the Hospital Preparedness Program. These grant funds are
utilized to enhance community resilience by increasing the ability of
hospitals and healthcare facilities to respond to the public health and
medical impacts of any emergency, such as natural disasters, disease
outbreaks, or acts of terrorism.
