Did you know that you can volunteer your skills and talents to assist in the event of an emergency? During any disaster or public health emergency, we may require community, public health, and medical personnel that exceeds our available resources.
The Virginia Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is comprised of community members and health care professionals who donate their time and skills to support public health initiatives and provide assistance in emergencies. Volunteers can assist in a number of capacities including mass dispensing operations, staffing shelters and providing assistance during exercises or drills.
When we are not responding to emergencies or training to respond to emergeencies we are helping the Virginia Department of Health in public health efforts. There are opportunities to participate in health fairs, wellness checks, CPR classes, opioid awareness, etc.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, respond to this need and someone will be in touch with you as we move forward to discover the best ways for you to use your skills and help out at the VMRC!
