The North East Regional Urgent Care Association (NERUCA) is building an emergency communications network for urgent care centers across the Northeastern United States, according to a recent NERUCA newsletter. The goal is to improve real-time coordination and information sharing during public health events and emergencies. It’s asking members to provide their mobile phone numbers and emails for emergency alerts. NERUCA will stage a pilot emergency notification test later this summer. Members in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont can share their contact information on a digital form.
First of its kind: NERUCA was founded in 2013 and was the Urgent Care Association’s first recognized chapter. The annual NERUCA conference takes place in September in Connecticut.
