The McHenry County Medical Reserve Corps (MCMRC) will host an orientation and training at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 27 at The Pointe, 5650 Northwest Highway, in Crystal Lake. New volunteers and those interested in joining the Corps are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
The MRC is a community-based network of volunteers that assist public health efforts in times of special need or disaster, e.g. during a major communicable disease outbreak, an earthquake, flood, fire, evacuation or an act of terrorism. Members of an MRC may also volunteer their time throughout the year in order to promote community public health and education. MRCs are organized and trained to work in emergency situations to supplement existing local emergency plans and resources.
The MCMRC welcomes volunteers for nonmedical critical support functions as well as current or retired health professionals. These individuals play a critical role in strengthening McHenry County’s ability to respond in emergency situations.
