We are the Region D Healthcare Coalition (RDHC), a network of healthcare organizations, providers and regional partners committed to strengthening our healthcare system to ensure that it will be best prepared to respond during those crucial times of need.
Established in 2012 and funded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), the RDHC serves more than three and a half million citizens residing within eight metro-Atlanta counties: Clayton, DeKalb, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale.
