Give Em’ Health: Volunteers Needed

by | Feb 28, 2018 | News | 0 comments

TriCounty Health Department is always welcoming new recruits to volunteer organizations including the Medical Reserve Corps or MRC. “We can always use more people, more hands on deck,” shares TriCounty representative Liberty Best. The Medical Reserve Corp is among other volunteer organizations under the Citizens Corp which President Bush started in 2002 as a way to organize and utilize volunteers during emergencies. More recruits are needed in the local Medical Reserve Corp. “We do bi-monthly trainings and get together with Citizens Corp and learn about personal preparedness, ways to get ready for a disaster, and once a year drills to learn what their part is in a disaster,” shares Best. “Recruits are only activated if something major were to happen and the Director of the Health Department would have to say we need more volunteers.” Those interested in joining need to be at least 18 years old and a background check will be performed.
