Medical Reserve Corps Volunteers respond to call


Wednesday, February 3, 2010 3:18 PM MST

Local volunteers with the La Paz County Medical Reserve Corps answered a call to assist the Red Cross in opening a second shelter in response to the Wenden flood. As evacuees entered the second shelter the MRC volunteers assisted the families in registration and provided comfort to the children.

"These ladies came prepared to help, with their emergency go-kit and can do attitude," said Mindy Christman, Medical Reserve Corps Coordinator.

The MRC is a volunteer program under the La Paz County Health Department whose mission is to provide assistance to the public health system during emergencies. MRC is a nationwide volunteer program under the office of the Surgeon General.

The county MRC is one of 873 chapters across America and is actively seeking volunteers with medical and non-medical backgrounds. Volunteers receive training in personal preparedness, community preparedness, and emergency response. To find more information on joining MRC contact Mindy Christman at 928-669-9364 or go to www.medicalreservecops.gov
