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.

If you have questions about the Cardio Collaborative, reach out Dr. Lauren Bartoszek at lbartoszek@healthcollab.org

Our next is none other than Sharon Trainer, Member Services Coordinator!

What are you currently working on at The Health Collaborative you are excited about?
I’m currently involved in THC’s transition from Salesforce to MondayCRM, and it’s a really big, exciting project. Jill Collet and Raman Arora have been doing a fantastic job leading the effort, and I truly believe we’re well on our way. I’m genuinely looking forward to the day the transition is complete, because I know the entire organization will benefit from Monday’s capabilities.

Do you have a favorite part of work?
Well this might sound odd, but I genuinely love working with numbers and math - and I get to do a lot of that in my role in the Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). I can easily get lost in the data, digging into the details, reconciling, calculating… doesn’t that sound fun?! 😊

Beyond that, I really enjoy being in a support role and helping teams across the organization. I work with such great people, which makes the work even more enjoyable.

Any favorite hobbies outside of work?
Our family owns three American Saddlebred horses, and our three daughters train and show them competitively. Our whole family is really involved and has been for more than 30 years. I’m at the barn every day with our daughters and our 4 year old granddaughter, Charlie Greyce, and even our 1½ year old grandson, Jett, likes to ‘help’ whenever he can. Charlie actually began showing last year in the LeadLine division and won first place in all her classes during her very first season – so darn cute! It’s just a wonderful hobby for the entire family and we couldn’t be prouder of them all, including the horses!

Do you travel?
There are two favorite places I’ve traveled to: one was when we drove a motor home out west to Washington and Oregon with the entire family. Travelling through all the states was amazing and our destinations were even better. There’s so much beauty and interesting sites to see – I just loved that! The other was travelling to Mexico for my daughter & son-in-law's destination wedding. Again, our whole family went, and it was special and beautiful– the best of memories!
