What this tracks
This dataset maps Nebraska’s regional Health Care Coalitions (HCCs) that coordinate emergency medical responses across county lines.
Why it matters to you
When a blizzard hits or a hospital reaches capacity, your local HCC determines whether ambulances can reroute to neighboring counties or if emergency medical supplies will reach your area. Knowing your HCC region (like the Omaha Metropolitan Healthcare Coalition) tells you which hospitals, health departments, and EMS teams collaborate during crises. If you’re considering relocating within Nebraska, this reveals how medical emergencies would be handled in different regions.
