The Health Collaborative

We bring healthcare stakeholders together for the good of the community.

04/03/2026

Throughout the year, we bring together leaders from across the region to help prepare our communities for seasonal and emerging health concerns - such as cold and flu season, RSV, vaccine awareness, and potential outbreak scenarios. This collaborative group, the Infectious Disease Action Group, shares data and insights and aligns on clear, consistent messaging. By working together behind the scenes, we streamline efforts and ensure our healthcare systems are aligned on the most pressing health concerns facing our region.

We are proud to have any part of the impactful work led by the Hamilton County Addiction Response Coalition (HC ARC) in our region. This coalition of experts is dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome challenges related to addiction. Their recently released Annual Report highlights remarkable progress: since the crisis peaked in 2017, Hamilton County has experienced a 66% decrease in overdose deaths! Even more encouraging, the data shows a consistent 30% year-over-year decline, with overdose deaths decreasing from 277 in 2024 to 194 in 2025.

The report, which reflects 2025 data, also spotlights the opening of the Talbert House Hamilton County Crisis Center—a 47,000-square-foot facility designed to serve as a centralized hub for addiction and mental health crisis intervention, stabilization, and treatment. This new center represents a major step forward, creating a more streamlined, coordinated, and responsive system of care for our community.

Alongside the work of the Hamilton County Public Health Department, The Health Collaborative is also featured in the report. It specifically highlights our specialized trainings for the region’s Chief Nursing Officers, which focused on reducing stigma, increasing understanding of the role of syringe exchange services, and sharing best practices for emergency department response to addiction-related crises.

Thank you to our own VP of Clinical Strategies, Tiffany Mattingly, who serves on the Steering Committee and as co-chair of the HC ARC Community Health Committee, alongside THC board member and Hamilton County Public Health Commissioner, Greg Kesterman. We also extend our thanks to Josh Arnold, a new THC board member, for his leadership at Talbert House. We are grateful for their service and for the dedication of all HC ARC members.

Last week, members of our Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) team, along with Dr. David Hartley from Cincinnati Children’s, met with delegates visiting Cincinnati through the International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP). IVLP is a professional exchange initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of State that connects global leaders with organizations across the United States to share perspectives and expertise.

We were honored to contribute to their visit by sharing how regional partners collaborate through real-time data sharing and coordination! Our team highlighted systems developed during COVID-19, including the Situational Awareness Learning Tool (SALT), as well as key lessons learned from the pandemic response and the importance of sustaining these capabilities to strengthen public health monitoring, performance measurement, and overall emergency preparedness.

Following the presentation, delegates engaged in a thoughtful Q&A and shared perspectives from their own countries. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas that help strengthen health systems both locally and globally.

Yesterday, our team led the Tristate Disaster Coalition through a Medical Response & Surge Emergency (MRSE) training exercise.

More than 45 regional organizations took part in a simulation of a widespread tornado outbreak that would result in multiple mass casualty incidents. Tornado Response is a priority hazard for our region.

The exercise walked participants through the tornado scenario from start to finish to ensure all organizations could practice each step. Teams practiced all aspects of the response: patient distribution, resource management, and timely information sharing. The exercise allowed individuals to practice the scenario live from their own facilities.

This is just one example of the critical behind‑the‑scenes work our Emergency Preparedness & Response (EPR) team is leading to help keep our region safe. Learn more about our EPR work: healthcollab.org/emergency-preparedness

🌟 New Partnership Spotlight! 🌟

The Health Collaborative’s Workforce Innovation team has officially launched a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati’s Workforce Development Center — and we’re already two events in! 🎉

We’ll be hosting monthly career‑exploration events plus summer specialty sessions, adding up to more than a dozen opportunities in 2026 for students to discover what’s possible in healthcare.

Our most recent event focused on NURSING, featuring an inspiring talk from Sonya Wells, MSN, APRN, FNP‑C. She shared her journey, her many nursing roles, what makes being an Advanced Practice Nurse unique, why representation matters, and how she’s built a life of service and entrepreneurship. The students loved her words and Q&A - thank you, Sonya for your time and energy! ✨

Next, students rotated through several “What Type of Nurse Is This?” stations, took a fun quiz matching their personality to nursing specialties, and explored a resource sheet created by our employer-led Nursing Workgroup with career ladders, salaries, training, and local college pathways. It was an extremely fun day - and we’re just getting started! Up next: Imaging careers, plus our big spring event, You Belong in Healthcare, in late April.

Another inspiring convening of the Cardio Collaborative took place yesterday!

We facilitated a discussion on how healthcare can change in prioritized Cincinnati neighborhoods and explored ways to measure our collective impact. Our focus centered on how to transform local systems to better address hypertension and heart disease — two conditions that continue to impact so many of our families and neighbors.

Our partners from The American Heart Association shared information on their Outpace CVD program, inviting partners to engage by sharing activity and programs for reducing hypertension.

Most importantly, we discussed what success looks like when we work as a collaborative group: shared goals, measurable outcomes, and collective accountability to improve heart health where it matters most — right here in our community.
