Update Other Coalition Business Other Agency Updates Ann Pasik stated that it was brought to all the chairs that the state of Florida wants to have one coalition per region. If you like to participate in this one Healthcare Coalition you can get funds through this one coalition. In our region we have 4: Collier, Lee, Rural and us. So could we disband all the Coalitions that we have and create one coalition for this region or everyone folds into one. There will be no more individual hospital contracts. This coalition will become more of a response entity in a disaster. So there will be a little bit more responsibility. If we do get a decision we would have to decide what we would like to do.
