WHA Hospital Emergency Preparedness Executive Leadership Series
The Wisconsin Hospital Association in cooperation with the Hospital Bioterrorism Preparedness Program, Wisconsin Division of Public Health, is sponsoring free of charge a four-part series on emergency preparedness topics that are targeted for senior management at Wisconsin hospitals.
Wisconsin hospitals have been diligently working on building surge capacity for a mass casualty incident and have so far been the recipients of more than $20 million to help with this effort. This series focuses on the role that senior managers will play in a mass casualty incident. The target audience for this series is: hospital CEO, president, administrator; vice presidents; chief medical officers; members of the boards of directors and other senior managers.
