Illinois Region 8 Health Care Coalition (HCC) Meetings
The Illinois Region 8 Health Care Coalition (HCC) meetings are an excellent format to get exposure to the thought process and procedures circulating in the health care field. This meeting also provides an outlet to ask questions regarding the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule. The meetings will continue to be facilitated at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, 1909 Spring Road in Oak Brook, if it is safe to do so. If social distancing is still necessary, the Region 8 HCC will conduct the meetings via WEBEX. This decision will be made 2-4 weeks ahead of the scheduled meeting date and invites will be sent. All meetings will start at 0830 hours and are scheduled to end at 1200 hours. See the below meeting dates. For more information, contact Region 8 Health Care Coalition Chairperson Paul Banks via pabanks@lumc.edu.
