New Resource for VHAC Members – 2026 Member Handbook Now Available

We are excited to introduce the new Virginia Heart Attack Coalition (VHAC) Member Resource Handbook — a comprehensive guide designed to support your engagement, leadership, and impact within our statewide collaborative.

This handbook serves as a practical roadmap for:

• VHAC’s mission, vision, and strategic priorities

• The three strategic pillars: EMS Engagement, Regional System Development, and Data-Driven Improvement

• Participation expectations and engagement benchmarks

• Regional leadership structure and meeting cadence

• Clinical workgroups, protocols, and data collection tools

• How to access member resources and stay connected

Whether you are a hospital leader, EMS partner, affiliate, or workgroup participant, this resource outlines how VHAC operates — and how you can fully leverage the collaborative to strengthen emergency cardiovascular systems of care in your region.

This is more than a handbook. It is a living resource that reflects our shared commitment to timely, equitable, guideline-driven care across the Commonwealth.

We encourage all members to review the handbook and share it with relevant colleagues within your organization.

Together, through collaboration, data, and regional leadership, we continue to strengthen systems of care and improve outcomes for patients across Virginia.
