Official website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    PA Health Alert Network (PA-HAN)

    Pennsylvania Health Alert Network (PA-HAN) provides timely information on important public health issues to state and local public health agencies, hospitals, emergency management officials, and other health care providers.

    These messages are intended to inform and support public health work and should not be treated as news releases. If members of the media have questions about a PA-HAN, contact the DOH Office of Communications at ra-dhpressoffice@pa.gov.

    The Health Alert Network is part of the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Program and was established under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    The PA Health Alert Network (PA HAN) serves as a communication network among state and local public health agencies, health care personnel, hospitals and emergency management officials.

    The information provided on the PA-HAN website is based upon recommendations from the CDC and other health organizations.

    Important!

    The Pennsylvania Health Alert Network (PA-HAN) is moving to a new platform on September 8, 2026. As part of this migration and to ensure users do not miss any health alerts, we are asking PA-HAN users to register on the new platform by August 28, 2026.  

    Users will be able to register after this date, but we encourage early registration to ensure no messages are missed. 

    Until you register using the above link, you will not receive future health alert network messages after the September 8, 2026 transition date. 

    If you have questions about the PA-HAN system or the registration process, please reach out to pahanhealth@pa.gov or call 717-787-3350. 

    For general public health inquiries, please contact 877-PA-HEALTH.
