| Profile: |
The Gallia County Medical Reserve Corps was formed primarily to assist in mass distribution of medications. Since that time, community pandemic flu education and medical support activities (triage, first aid, etc) have been added.
Volunteers are recruited through the Ohio RN and LPN databases, and through personal recruiting.
