Behind the scenes of the biggest events in Columbus, like this past weekend’s Red, White & Boom, COTS helps keep our community safe by ensuring healthcare partners are connected, informed, and ready.

Throughout the celebration, the COTS Healthcare Incident Liaison monitored regional healthcare activity and supported communication among hospitals, EMS, emergency management, and public safety partners.

When it comes to protecting our community, the best are always ready.
