Leadership Council
Comprised of representatives from each health care system sector in the NYCHCC. Leadership Council members engage the decision-makers at their health care institutions to communicate the importance of the NYCHCC and encourage integrated, collaborative approach to emergency preparedness and response planning.
 
Borough Sub-Coalitions
Include health care and non-health care facilities and organizations in each NYC borough. Borough Sub-Coalitions are largely defined by borough boundaries, often administratively anchored by local/neighborhood hospitals, and are collaborative networks of health care organizations and their respective public and private sector partners. Borough Sub-Coalitions were founded to improve emergency preparedness in their communities. However, over time, the membership of these groups grew to include non-acute health care and non-health care community members, allowing Borough Sub-Coalitions to also assume a role in disaster response and recovery, with the aim to further improve the quality of health and mental health outcomes in their geographical area.
 
Healthcare Network Sub-Coalitions
Defined by their centralized delivery of services to affiliated organizations and ability to offer a wide variety of multidisciplinary health care services, Healthcare Network Sub-Coalitions support the development of health care emergency management programs across facility types and within growing health systems. They promote current trends in health care delivery and build emergency preparedness capacity in all sectors of each network. A shared role of Healthcare Network Sub-Coalitions is to maintain the highest possible level of health care delivery throughout their networks during a disaster response.
 
Independent Hospital Systems
Comprise a group of acute care facilities which are not affiliated with or reliant on a healthcare network for the development of health care emergency management programs. Like Healthcare Network Sub-Coalitions, independent hospitals promote current best practices in health care delivery and ensure emergency preparedness capacity-building in all sectors of each system, through participation in the NYCHCC Leadership Council.
 
Subject Matter Expertise (SME) Sub-Coalitions
Help their members and other NYCHCC Sub-Coalitions and providers improve emergency preparedness capabilities in the sectors they represent. An integral partner, SME Sub-Coalitions share their knowledge and provide technical assistance to other NYCHCC Sub-Coalitions in order to mitigate the effects of a disaster system-wide and improve communication and outreach.
 
General Members
All New York City health care providers, and their non-health care partners in emergency preparedness and response activities, are considered General Members of the NYCHCC. Roles and responsibilities of General Members include:

• Sharing best/promising emergency management practices and knowledge
• Mentoring partners and providers
• Sharing data and supporting analyses.
