Introduction to the Medical Reserve Corps Training Coming To a Health Department Near You
Do you want to make a difference in your community? Are you willing to assist during the county’s greatest time of need? Then consider joining the Medina County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). Medina County’s Medical Reserve Corps is looking for both medical and non-medical volunteers to help us make Medina County a healthier, better prepared community. You don’t need a medical background or any special skills to be a part of the MRC, just a willingness to help in a time of need. We are looking for all types of people who can offer their skills and are willing to assist in an emergency, as well as other events such as a county exercise or drill.
In a public health emergency, every helping hand can make a difference in reducing illness and saving lives. MRC volunteers are a valuable asset during all types of incidents. Remember, emergencies and disasters come without warning. When emergencies happen, Medina County wants to be prepared and have a team of trained volunteers ready to assist.
The Medina County MRC will be providing a FREE Medical Reserve Corps Training on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, from 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM at the Medina County Health Department, 4800 Ledgewood Drive, Medina, Ohio.
