Dogwood Health Trust

Data and Scenario Planning Site

We know that our community partners and leaders throughout the region are facing unheard of challenges in how to continue the delivery of services and programs and serve those among us who are our most vulnerable and marginalized. We are also painfully aware that our healthcare systems are already stretched. Even before the surge hits our region, they are operating at a deficit when it comes to much needed PPE (personal protective equipment) and medical supplies like ventilators, hand sanitizer, and ICU beds.

We hear you. We’ve been working with our dedicated staff and Board, along with outside partners, to develop a broad, yet strategic response to assist our region. Our goal? Stop the spread and flatten the curve.

To give you some sense of what that looks like and the data that drives us, we felt called to share a regional resource that can perhaps assist in your decision-making with respect to your organization, your community, and your loved ones at wncready.org.

This is indeed a challenging time for all of us. We want to make finding accurate information less challenging. We will continue to improve upon this site and appreciate your patience. In the meantime, please remember to stay home.

We aim to provide accurate, real-time data for the 18 counties and Qualla Boundary that make up the WNC region – and that are served by Dogwood Health Trust. And, we hope to inspire innovative collaborators in the region to join us in this effort.
