Mission
The mission of the Health Systems and Preparedness Administration (HSPA) is to safeguard and enhance the health and well-being of residents, visitors, and those doing business in the District of Columbia. We achieve this by fostering excellence in health professional practice, regulating health systems and facilities, and coordinating robust emergency preparedness, response, resiliency, and recovery efforts. Through partnerships and an effective regulatory framework, we ensure the quality, safety, and readiness of our health systems to meet both everyday healthcare needs and public health emergencies.
