| Profile: |
The Medina County Health Department, in cooperation with the Medina County Commissioners and the Medina County Emergency Management Agency, has developed the Medina County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). The Medina County MRC will supplement existing local emergency and public health resources utilizing both medical professionals and others during times of need. To be ready to provide the rapid response needed in a disaster, volunteers need to be trained and organized. A key function of the Medina County MRC is to provide members with specialized training and preparation. Volunteers are needed during both emergency and non-emergency situations. In conjunction with public health, emergency, and other medical professionals, the MRC will help strengthen response efforts within the county. Please contact the MRC Coordinator shown in this listing for further information or assistance.
