| Profile: |
The Creek County Medical Reserve Corps, a part of the Creek County Department of Health Services, is being developed to help Creek County, a heavily populated county located in close proximity to City of Tulsa. Creek 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, County mental health services, OEM, Citizen Corps, and other County resources to develop a coordinated response to a disaster. It does not limit recruitment to licensed health and medical personnel, including nurses, nurse practitioners, veterinarians, pharmacists, doctors, chiropractors, physician assistants, and dentists, but is open to all community resources in the county. This unit is recruiting members for its MRC by making presentations and/or delivering brochures to its municipal libraries, 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 being planned by the County Department of Health Services. We encourage all prospective volunteers to register with the MRC by going to http://www.okmrc.org selecting “Join MRC”. Please contact the Creek County MRC Coordinator shown in this listing for further information or assistance.
The Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) consists of individual MRC Units across the state. Each program works together and with the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.
