The world’s biggest sporting event is almost here. Get your facility ready with our Hospital Preparedness Checklist, assembled by the Northwest Healthcare Response Network, UW Medicine and Providence Swedish.
Seattle will host its first game of FIFA World Cup 2026 on June 15, but hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the globe are already on their way here. We encourage you to review and use the checklist now. Medical response readiness protects residents, visitors and first responders, strengthens the resilience of critical infrastructure and ensures we can respond effectively to both expected and unexpected threats during one of the largest events the state has ever hosted.
