| Profile: |
The Champaign Medical Reserve Corps, part of the Champaign Health District services,is being developed to help Champaign County communities. Champaign County MRC deals with surge capacity in a local disaster, including assisting mass prophylaxis/vaccination clinics or other major public health needs. The unit is partnered with the Red Cross, VOAD, EMA, Citizens Corps, CERT, and other County resources to develop a coordinated response to a disaster. It is implementing recruitment to licensed health and medical personnel, including nurses,nurse practioners, veterinarians, pharmacists,doctors,chiropractors,
physician assistants, and dentists,and other community resources in the county. This unit is recruiting members for its MRC by making presentations and/or delivering brochures, meetings of professional organizations, mailings, health fairs, and other community gatherings. The unit has a core of about 81 volunteers and has developed a core curriculum based on the suggested MRC core competencies. These MRC volunteers will be included in exercises and events planned by the Champaign Health District. We encourage all prospective volunteers to register with the MRC Coordinator and/or on the Serve Ohio website. Please contact the Champaign County MRC Coordinator shown in this listing for further information or assistance.
