The Healthcare and Public Health Sector is a vital one, safeguarding all sectors of the society from different risks including bioterrorism, widespread disease epidemics, and natural calamities. This sector, with the majority of its resources privately held and managed, highly relies on cross-sector cooperation and information exchange to enhance resilience of the country's critical Healthcare and Public Health infrastructure. Operating across all states, territories, and tribal locations within the U.S., the sector plays a pivotal role in both response and recovery in all sectors during any natural or human-made disaster.
A unique attribute of this sector is that while healthcare delivery is often locally tailored and managed, the public health aspect, which concentrates mainly on the health of the populace, is managed across varying governmental levels: national, state, regional, local, tribal, and territorial.
In delivering its services and maintaining operational continuity, the Healthcare and Public Health Sector heavily relies on several other sectors. These include Communications, Emergency Services, Energy, Food and Agriculture, Information Technology, Transportation Systems, and Water and Wastewater Systems.
