Did you know 80-90% of people with mental health disorders are treatable by utilizing various treatment therapies, medications, services, and supports? Youth Mental Health First Aid is a course that helps individuals with First Aid training to recognize the early signs of mental health disorders. By recognizing these signs early on, appropriate response and action take place before the problem turns into a crisis. 1
 On February 17, 2017, Region 7 Healthcare Coalition hosted Basic Disaster Life Support at the Gaylord University Center. The course had a great turn out with a wide variety of disciplines represented.
On April 20, 2016 Region 7 Healthcare Coalition hosted the annual Regional Full Scale Exercise. During this exercise, hospitals, EMS, Emergency Management, Public Health, and Long Term Care partners found their preparedness levels challenged. In the exercise scenario, straight winds destroyed the Region, Munson Medical Center had to evacuate patients due to infrastructure damages and there was one patient with a special pathogen that needed transport to another facility. To understand their own level of preparedness, Partners had to test their communication using 800 MHz, use of hospital Emergency plans, evacuation plans, evacuation equipment, EM Resource and EM Track, and their use of MICIMS.
 Live-fire, boots on the ground, planes dropping bombs, and artillery firing. All of this and more took place during the annual Northern Strike Exercise at Camp Grayling. Prior to the live exercise, on August 6th 2016, the National Guard, US Marines, Region 7 Healthcare Coalition, and Region 7 hospitals and emergency crews held a Medical Preparedness Briefing to collaborate on a response plan to the simulated mass casualty event.
