| Profile: |
The MRC located in West Central Ohio was started in January 2004. It involves a collaborative effort with eight counties including Preble, Darke, Champaign, Clark, Miami, Montgomery, Shelby, and Greene counties. The MRC's vision is to forge distinct teams of volunteers able to effectively and efficiently respond to incidents of public health significance. The mission is to design, organize, establish, and implement an MRC that is appropriately trained to react to the incidents of public health significance. An advertising campaign was initiated in June, and the MRC is accepting registration for orientation classes.

The WCO MRC coordinators are scheduled to meet on this day to discuss training opportunties with Wright State University Help Center. This portion of WSU deals with emergency preparedness issues as well as running the Acute Care Center (ACC). The ACC is a 1,000 bed medical surge operation for helping with overflow to hospitals during an emergency. Coordinators will be brainstorming with ACC personnel to see what type of training they can provide to WCO MRC volunteers. During this same meeting David O'Reily, the state MRC coordinator will be providing training on the Ohio Responds system.
