Partnerships & Coalitions

Knowing that we can accomplish much more when we work together, the Community Benefit program at Hudson Hospital & Clinics builds valuable connections with individuals and organizations from public, private and nonprofit sectors to share skills and assets.

Table-top Drills
Hudson Hospital & Clinics, along with other emergency response teams from Hudson, participated in Operation Vigilant Guard 2011, an emergency preparedness exercise conducted by the National Guard every year. This multi-state disaster exercise was linked to the National Level Exercise, meaning that the President and/or members of his cabinet participated.  The focus of the exercise was to learn how to support affected states outside of Wisconsin in the event of a disaster and test emergency response systems and inter-hospital communications.

Hospital and community drills, such as this, provide ongoing learning opportunities for hospital staff and community partners.

Domestic Violence Seminars and Event
Domestic violence touches every one of us. It fills emergency rooms and morgues. It keeps employees from being able to work. It destroys homes and families. In order to increase domestic violence awareness, Hudson Hospital & Clinics in partnership with Turningpoint, Inc., local shelter and resource center, held health professional lunch-n-learn seminars and a community event.

Through video, lecture and small group discussion, these seminars and event raised awareness about domestic violence, the prevalence of, how it impacts victims and their families, and conveyed steps concerned citizens could take to help end abuse in their circle of friends and neighbors.

Hospital staff learned effective screening techniques and learned how to be more present to the victim’s condition and needs.
