To better prepare South Carolina healthcare providers for a possible disaster, either natural or man-made, Upstate AHEC is offering educational programs and information through the Disaster Preparedness & Response Training (DPRT) Network. The programs and materials are available to health care providers, hospital staff, public health workers, as well as the general public at no charge.

This is made possible through a program funded by the Health Resources and Service Administration Grant Number T01HP01418.
