Forging Ahead

DESCRIPTION

The Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) has a rich history of collaboration in public health preparedness since 1991. Key milestones include the establishment of emergency management arrangements and cross-border working groups aimed at mitigating the impact of health emergencies. The Pacific Northwest Border Health Alliance (PNWBHA) facilitates integrated surveillance and communication among jurisdictions, enabling effective responses to communicable disease outbreaks. A Joint Coordination Committee and various working groups ensure sustainable practices and efficient resource management in health care delivery across the Canada-U.S. border.
